Ahhhh thank you so much. I am such a dummy anymore about computer stuff, so many programs and really never have used a spread sheet before.

Well I guess I have to join as it won't let me message him, meanwhile, my image changes with the input, I just don't get the cutting data...or I can't find it. Will figure out how to contact Rod.

Hmmm well when I run the program I don't get the data you show here, even when changing numbers, it only changes the circle graph. ???

That works.....I think. I cannot figure out how to utilize the chart, I was hoping to get the cutter height change per 4 degrees, I guess 3 deg. is 3/4 turn on my rotory. (Depending on direction of rotation) there appears to be 20 cuts (either deeper or less deep) for the total rise that...

Doesn't like Explorer either

There is an older program out there that supposedly does this and puts the data in a spreadsheet. Unfortunately it will not run on my computer and I am not savee enough to make this all work. The link I am posting will have the calc, info, and the source code. Does anyone know of another...

That is where I guess the timing to be, TDC Using the timing light on the ign and visual on piston location/crank. I am pretty much lousy on working steel with any kind of decent finish. Did you start with 5/8" for your one piece?

Damn, get it all back together, needed a new O-ring, I used the wrong type. Regardless, the damn thing sheared the tapered pin and silver solder on the flywheel side. Maybe I need to make one piece crank?

LOL, no my last name is Martin and I am a III of the same name. My sister at one time in her life put in about 10 years selling their business solutions to the big companies.....she retired after the Y2K. Not with that company but another that delt with Y2K stuff. She had 7 figure year in...

Ikrestorer....yes you need to use the constraints, which can be a PIA, but down the road they are imperative. You using the "join" or "joint" function to put these together? I am sure there are many ways. Personally with what I do I split most of my drawings down one plane in the middle as I...

That is what I ordered.

Yes, they are frequently updating the menu's and not always will the interface look like the current program view. It is very intuitive though. As far as learning, we each learn differently and at different speeds. At this point, I don't watch any of the videos any more unless I am trying...

There are so many out there, I have no clue which to use for a piston ring. The one I got at the hardware store lasted about 10 minutes of run time. McMaster-Carr has a huge selection of types? https://www.mcmaster.com/o-rings

Actually the rear was not firing at all, did not get hot. Valves leaking. (intake) Both sides actually compression gone.

No clue on speed

A bit longer run, in fact the longest yet. Had to make a new crankshaft after a backfire (I forgot to pin the darn thing first time around) Also got the water pump mounted, need to plumb it.

Success. Need work on fuel system as it starves out. Need cooling system first.

That was it, still need to improve valve sealing but got popping now. During all this, have been putting a little time in on the water pump. Much of it was to make gears 8t, 16 dp. I had a set of cutters for 16 dp, but the 'count' of eight was not listed for any of the cutters. Took a...

Well I find out today that the issue was resolved. You see, on the exhaust chambers, someone, cannot say who this might have been, someone, drilled the holes bass ackwards. LOL. So got to fix them up and give it another shot. No wonder it wouldn't run/fire/do anything. What a stupid mistake

Been getting some help and feedback. Trying to run on LP and use the mixer in the plans. Apparently just getting too much fuel and I need a demand regulator. Awaiting plans and more info, my assist person has personal stuff to attend to first and get me a file. Found a mixer...
