I wonder if some one would sell me a couple of pieces of mild steel and broach a 3/8 square hole in them. They are the crank cheeks for a 9 Cyl radial. the 2 pieces are bolted together and the hole broached so that they are in alignment. Attached is a pic of the dimensions. The steel parts are...

I ordered 8 8-40 spark plugs for my Demon V-8 from Steve Hucks of Demon V-8 fame. The plugs started coming apart when I removed the plug wires, ( I have removed them often trying to get it to run) so I ordered 8 more and paid for them. When Steve found out I was having problems with his plugs...

Built Steve Hucks Lil Demon and am having issues with the hall effect sensor being ruined. I use a 12v batt and a dsage ectronic setup that I use on my 4 cyl. it works fine on the 4 cyl, but fries hall sensors on the Demon distributor. Could the small size of the Demon dizzy cause issues when...

Here is my completed Hoglet. Took me about a year of on and off work. Here's video Thanks Ron

I have been pouring over all the reference material I can find on making cams, both in print and web based. I can't seem to be able to determine how to make the hoglet cams. I want to make them on the lathe as I don't have a good boring head for my mill. The cam blank is .465 with a base...

Here is a video of my very first IC engine. It is a Mastiff Designed by L.C. Mason in England in the 70s. It is a flat 4cyl boxer 4 stroke. I did away with the points and put in a Hall Effect ignition. Got the circuit form this board. From the thread " a new ignition circuit". Ron

I'm trying to make some 1/4-32 plugs to George Britnells design and I can't figure out the electrode length versus the insulator length. It appears that they are the same length. I know full size plugs have the electrode a little than the insulator. Is it ok to have the electrode the same...

I have my electrical parts for my Hall Effect ignition. Now I need advice on how to set it up. I have been searching youtube and the web for mounting setups and such but can't find much except for demos on how the mag effects the sensor I plan on mounting the hall sensor on the side of...

Went my local scap yard and picked up 11 lbs of brass/bronze. $44.00+ Tax. At this price I might just as well buy new stuff, I think. Have to check prices online I guess. Man, I almost had another heart attack. He's the only game in town so I guess he can do what he wants. Ron

How do you install graphite packing on steam engine pistons? My Simplex Loco pistons have 2 grooves, 1/8th wide by 3/16 in deep for packing to get the pistons steam tight but I know nothing about how to go about it. For instance, how much friction should the piston have on initial...

I got a Grizzly G0704 Mill in March and have been doing some mods to it, such as the 3 bolt head and the tramming blocks on the tilting head. I put Igaging digital read outs on the X and Y axis also. The mill compliments my Grizzly 10 x 22 Lathe. Today I finished a DIY table Power...

Could some one with Grizzly G0704 mill please tell me the height of the table from the floor? With mill mounted on the supplied stand. And the height of the stand? I am trying to see if I need to make a riser of some sort to get the table to a good working height for me. My mill should be here...

I just now ordered a Grizzly G0704 Mill, 4" vice,clamp set and 12 piece R-8 collet set from Grizzly. Also ordered a 6" horizontal/vertical rotory table and a spin indexer with tailstock from e-bay. There went the old budget. ;D ;D Now just have to finish up the "honey doooos" that allowed me...
