Did anyone make it to the car show this year? They have all kinds of ideas for model engines... Like this boxer from Subaru... http://www.mikenchell.com/images2/MVI_0612.MOV Mike...

Thanks Pete, Okay I made the side notches 1" deep, and I changed the chamfer from .0625" to .09375". That fixed everything. See for yourself! ;D http://www.mikenchell.com/images2/point_six_motor.mov Mike...
