Well I have made a start. Last week I had a 115mm x 130 mm length aluminum round which took me about 2 and a bit hours to do 3 cuts on my little 6x4 horizontal band saw .This week I decided to bore out the interior
of the crankcase .Having done very little boring before I thought I would start with a 1/2 inch hole and bore to 2.3 inches and get some practice, never again start with the biggest hole you can drill then bore.It seemed to take for ever.I then got on to the two side plates which I machined up and fitted the bearings. Some parts of the plans I will change here and there to metric as my reamers ,taps ,ect are all metric so the bearings I used are 10x30x9 mm.
This project will take me some time to so it is going to be a slow thread.
