I approached my BR2 build slightly differently, I followed the Blackmore version for all the exterior detail as it is true to the original but used the Agelesss engines plans for all the internal workings making the master rod assembly one solid piece.

Hi. All. Thanks for your input. I did get to the bottom of the problem the other day, which is good, but it does present a new question. I remembered what the instructor who taught me the black art back in the eighties told me, which was the control is logical and so will only...

Hi. All. I posted a few weeks back about a problem I was experiencing where a proven program seemed to stall during the cycle especially when cutting in the X- direction. I eventually traced that one back to the coupling clamping screw on the end of the ball screw which was just...

Bonding works as well.

Thanks, will do.

Hi. All. I've recently finished both versions, single carb and blower of Steve Huck's Little Demon, which was the last in a line of engine builds which have included The Whittle V8, a scaled up version of The Mastiff flat four, a nine cylinder radial and a hybrid version of the Bentley...

I've never experienced any problems with bonding, but once the positions are verified then pinning would be the belt and braces approach.

Finially finished the camshaft, thanks to Steve's input. I took the bonding approach as I have a little cnc mill and so the individual lobes weren't a problem to produce, just got to finish off the valves and I'll have a look to see if everything works as it should!!

Hi. All. I've checked out the chart and now I can see how to read all the cam lobe angular orientations to #Exh 1. Thanks. One question, why are the positions for the exhaust and inlet on cylinders 6 & 7 identicial? Meanwhile I'm having fun assembling the radiator.

Hi. Steve. I'll check that out tomorrow. I've already fabricated the crankshaft using the crankcase as an assembly fixture. The crank journals are cross drilled, pinned and then bonded in position. As every journal is supported between a bearing or bush there is very little chance of...

Hi. All. My little Demon is coming on, but I've now reached the camshaft, something I've been putting off for a while. As I only have a Myford Super7 using the turning fixture described might be a bit of an ask. I've fabricated four throw camshafts before but the angular positions of...
