Looking great. Nice work sir. I really struggled with boring out the cylinder on the engine I’m working on at the moment. It’s only my second engine. Very interesting to see someone else do it.
Depending upon the size of the bore, boring out cylinders is always a bit nerve racking. The smaller the bore and the longer it is, the more tricky it can be in my view to avoid tapering the bore. I'm sure you will achieve, slow and steady and keep checking is the motto!
Love the home made steady! Great idea. The lack of a valve nut for adjusting seems odd, but presumably there is adjustment elsewhere in the valve rod arrangement. Great progress!
Absolutely. I followed the drawing but wish I had thought a little more about the position befor I drilled and tapped. Still not difficult to sort out, but as yet I haven't done it
Impressive Ed. I love the 'steady' at 1min 30secs. Great thinking!
The steady is a useful addition and was worth making. It is much slimmer than proprietary versions which is handy.

I think the only adjustment will be on the valve knuckle end which I have not made as yet. Unusual, but I think it will be ok. Many thanks
Where did i get my appetite for pouring over technical problems? 😂 good video 😊
I blame genetics xxx
@edwinwhite933 I'm literally just strolling down the seafront muttering to myself about a data problem right now 😂
Nice work Edwin. Oddly inconvenient positioning of the drain cock hole.

the valve timing could be interesting, If you have room for an elbow you could always pipe it away and put a cock on the end of the pipe.
Many thanks for the suggestion. I haven't quite decided and will sort out the drain cock when the cylinder is mounted
