Camshaft as milled, still need to form ends of cams by filing/grinding.
Just started the crankshaft and am on the second piece of material
so could be a while before I post again.

Hi Bill, thanks for your comments, I to am looking forward to completion but that may be some months yet !!!!
Attached a PDF file of the cylinder head model, if opened with Adobe Reader 9 or better the model can be moved around and so viewed from any angle, better than a 2D picture.

Hi Alexandre
I have not been in the workshop for long since the last post, work is still ongoing with the crankshaft, all main bearings turned to +.010" so next will be the 4 shared big end journals. Thanks for your interest.
