With those borgwarner (tin hat) diffs you can tell at a glance if its an LSD by it having a rubber plug in the hat rather than a hex plug I am told Just some useless info

.

I have 4-2-1 headers on my car, not saying they don't exist, I was talking about having a collector in front of the motor and long 2ndry pipes like a TRY-Y type on a inline 4 motorcycle motor

In all my time in being a motorcycle mechanic have I never come across a 4 cylinder bike with Try Y headers, some bikes have a 4 into 2 with a cross over pipe or a collector but if you want to make them faster you fit a 4 into 1 system There is a caluactor on the net some where for working out primary pipe size and length and 2ndry pipe size

Didn't the Royal have fancy stuff like AC?

I am still yet to make it to one of the OS meets

Is your uncle terry stringer?

Depends if you have a patten witch is a very complex and very expensive thing, the casting isn't expensive. Friend of mine got Masport to cast some reproduction cylinder barrels for a motorcycle, was $150 to cast but over $20,000 for the patten

The green sad was from trade me but you can get it from http://www.metcast.com/ my aluminum was just scrap but I wouldn't recommend this as its cheep enough to buy the proper shit new Red sand is the stuff anyone doing sand casting at home should look into, you can re use it if you pick off the burnt bits I have some its easy to use, green sand you have to put water with it and its crumbly, I have 3 buckets of the stuff.

I see, just looked it up on youtube, Do they have any programs for making molds for casting car parts?

My friend got a 3d printer kit for $800, Haven't seen it yet, is a 3d printer like a cnc mill?

Here I am poring silicon bronze for some of my sculptures, the molded are dull red when i take them out of the kiln

I would NEVER pore into a cold or damp mold, it will explode, I nearly lost my ear

I am doing it the old way they have been doing for 4000 years, there is a new way using molochite and sodium silicate to make the fire proof mold witch can be burnt out with a big LPG burner, its called ceramic shell casting, I have tried it but it was hard to get it to work. If your making solid brackets you could use casting sand, I have dutch oil sand witch is very easy to use, or NZ green sand witch is a cunt to use but its cheep. http://www.metcast.com/ They sell all the sands and refractory stuff, crucibles are cheep, around $30 for my 8 KG #A8, furnace has cast refractory cement witch is expensive or you could use Kawool, all my hand tools and burner etc I have made.

I recommend this website for ideas http://backyardmetalcasting.com/

yes the shrinkage was about 3% it shrank about 3 mm, the places it mattered i built up with wax, I am doing my molds lostwax style, it has a core. some times I have to use rods to support the core. I have to fire the molds in a 44gal drum lined with kawool for about 5 days at 800 degrees c, witch uses nealy a full 45 KG LPG cylinder.

it would have to be the oil from the Chinese takeaway or diesel. Babbitt burner? it would be made from steel and refractory cement

Yes its a piece of angle iron I made an ingot mold out of, I hold it over the flame to pre heat it, or it will spit the motlen metal in your face. Been doing alot of bronze casting but want to do some cast iron, my home made naturally aspirated burner just isn't hot enough, going to make an oil burner.

thats me pouring the manifolds

I have a home made furnace and home made LPG burner, my crucible is steel pipe, I would be keen to see your induction furnace

Yes it all goes to the top, then you scoop it off with with a piece of flat bar,

Made this cast intake manafold adaptor a wile ago for an old ford, made the mold from roofing silicone and plaster, then slip cast the wax mold and did the fire proof mold around that using plaster and molochite mix, used beer cans old pistons and one of those aluminium security grills for the aluminium. Cast a few stupid shifter knobs and shit to

50 series = hardly can tell its a v8

Cool Flowmaster shouldn't be too loud, I had a 50 series on my cleveland powered falcon and I thought it was too quiet. are you getting a 40 series? they are a bit louder.

Must be exhaust system time?
