This story starts over a year ago with this thread. http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=10623.0 I have been employed there for almost 4 months now, I have enjoyed every minute, and have been learning new interesting things every day. I LOVE IT! Last week my boss brought me...

I know how to post a link (Copy-Paste), but how do I change the www.html.otherstuff.funkysymbols.randomnumbers.com to "Here" or something like that? Kel

In the process of Drafting plans for The TI4, I have encountered a stumbling block, or more of a stumbling head. The spark plug holes are at a compound angle. The holes are located from the bottom of the head and reamed .125", then spot faced, countersunk, and threaded from the top. The problem...

I have been thinking about the forces being generated inside my little engine. I wanted to calculate how fast the piston is moving. So, with a highest recorded RPM of a little over 9000 I will use that. 9000rpm x .5" per stroke x 2 strokes per revolution = 9000 inches per minute. 9000 inches...

Upon tear-down and inspection of the TI4, I noticed something strange. Once I took off the oil pan I felt the slop on the connecting rods. With the pistons at TDC and BDC there was some slop, but in the oposing direction there was none. This would indicate that the connecting rod journals have...

Iv'e been waiting a long time to post a thread in this section, and am proud to say I have finished the TI4. Here are the pics. Kel

There has been some discussion on spark plug construction. What most use for the electrode, and works very well, is piano wire. As I was contemplating my next spark plug adventure, I had a thought, I said to myself "Self, the big guys put platinum in their plugs, why can't we" I am sure that...

I am brainstorming ideas on a base for my my TI4. I am thinking a Dyno type setup with a hand throttle, key switch, and tachometer. My question is can I connect and after market tachometer to an S&S model IC CDI unit? On a car you would connect the signal wire to the positive terminal on the...

I am contemplating making a turbocharger for my Tiny inline 4 cylinder. I have seen superchargers and blowers in model engine size but not turbochargers. So my questions are. Has this been done for engines with less than 1 Cubic Inch displacement? What would I have to to to the carb to stop...

I am looking for a source for bronze rods smaller than 1/2". These bars a bit pricy to be making 1/4" bushings from. All I can find is 1/2" in 13" lengths. Are there any places that sell 3/8" or even 1/4". Kel

Hey all, I asked this question on a BMW forum and only had 18 views in 2 days. Needless to say no one replied. With over 200,000 members the site has very little activity. So I ask it here, where at least people will see it. I just purchased a 1978 BMW 320i/US. When I roll the windows down...

Well, as some of you might have caught on by my previous threads, I am very interested and frustrated in buying a CNC machine. I have been looking in every corner of the internet for a ready to go machine, but none of them fit my qualifications. I would like large capacity about 12"X18" and...

I am seriously considering building a CNC machine from scratch. I am hoping to be able to mill aluminum and possibly steel with up to a 3/8" to 1/2" and mill. I cannot find what I am looking for in ready to go machines for less than $2000 Three words "Capacity Capacity Capacity" I would like to...

I have been looking around for a CNC solution to help with certain operations like engraving. There are a lot of routers to choose from, but I found one that seems a bit more rigid than most, using square tubing instead of round for the guides. here it is...

I have been doing some looking around for turnkey CNC machines, but the price is awful large to get started with. I am looking for a small to medium sized machine. In my searching I am leaning more and more to the 'conversion' side of things. I want to get up and running quickly, and found...

I have a few projects in mind involving tapered holes. I have made er32 collet chucks in the past and never bother measuring the hole because the collet itself provided a measuring device, also the size of an ER tapered hole is non critical, but what if it is? How do I ACCURATELY measure a...
