Rubbish it’s dun all the time

IT’s prity easy on the 9 cylinder to just feel the exhaust it won’t burn you let’s not over complicate everything

Looks like you did a great job it’s all worth it when you get em running well dun 👍

I would try hand starting it I have a 9 cylinder and was very surprised at how easy it is to start all thow I do give it a quick spray of aero start then a quick flick and off she goes

hmm yer amazing work well dun

I installed them very gingerly with bum puckered and mouth just right lol and plenty of lube think a bit of Tung actions too yer there small and finicky but I am shore my fallers where down to pore heat treatment try and try agan and I got there think biggest thing for me was missing a extra hole

I think I had problems too and ended up leaving a extra hole out and that worked for me , o heated up with oxy to a cherry red held it for probably? 10 seconds then let cool on the jig o and mainly had the heat on the jig as to get the hole lot hot , worked for me in the end but yes you will...

Nice work I remember I was dreading the rings but once I managed to find the right iron witch was not easy to get hear in Australia it really went very well ok I snapped a few and a few didn’t pass the light test but all in all not as hard as I was expecting

The rings are easy but I would say do the heat treat in maybe a batch of 10 or so at a time I found when I did mine maybe I over cooked some ? But I had a few brittle ones that I broke in install so a small batch is no big deal if it gos wrong looking good though you will love it when she fires up 👍

Hi camm I’ve 98% finished mine just Wateing on some more ss tube for I think I need to make 4 or 5 more intake manifold but I did not let that me from a start up and like you I found it started quite easily can I ask what carby you went for ? I tryed a small ? 25 cc chain saw one got it running...

Can I ask how wide of a seat did you get ? I’ve just been through this process and yer what a pain I found it

Lol I have a cat to she is a good one but I work in the trade fiiter and turner and I get swarf every where never do my boots come inside and still I get in trouble

No idea but wow it’s very nice 👍

Nice work it’s been interesting reading with a good ending thanks for hanging in there and well dun 👍

All I use is a new bit of hss square about 3/8 I think in the mill in a drill chuck ( yes your chuck will grip it ) it’s not turning so it’s all good and use the quill to put slight pressure on ring in a position in the middle of a t slot or could set your vice jaws to about right I found it so...

I was told gray iron not that dura bar stuff ? Hard to find I no but when you do is cheep post cost me more than the 800 mm bar I got ?

2 thow interference fit come on check you mic that’s rubbish! That’s a very tight press fit on a 1 inch bore ! Your not laping faith that fit no way

All and I mean all rings need to bed in it’s a fact ! But I’m following with interest Brian the right oil can be the secret? Maybe I’m learning too of course but you do need a break in oil that I’m shore .
