  1. A few days without argon gives you a good opportunity to look into your cams
  2. Hard to believe the difference a little bit of finishing makes
  3. Freecad Path works quite well these days, I use it for all my machining
  4. Take a look at clough42's videos on youtube, he has some decent stuff that is relevant
  5. Do you have access to a 3D printer? They're super useful for making brackets and mounts etc when setting up a cabinet like this.
  6. Sensor pointing down like that won't last long, water can pool in it.
  7. What static/dynamic compression ratio are you running with this combo?
  8. It looks like you put a 4K in
  9. This could be of interest to you EDIT: Just saw price, yeah nah not of interest to anyone https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/v1055526566?conversionType=service_page_search#group=nogroup&photo=8
  10. Been making this valve cover racer for the annual MG club competition. I don't actually have an MG, nor am I a member of the club... Still have a few mechanical and style bits to do on it, but it rolls now. The MG plate on it is machined from some magnesium alloy that I cast and extruded a while back. Other bits from that same batch ended up holding pig skulls together for medical experiments.
  11. Probably have to keep the cats hot. A lot of the stuff they do doesn't make sense at first glance but Toyota knows what it is doing and everything is done for a pretty good reason
  12. Aren't pistons not actually cylindrical? I thought quite often they are a bit bigger diameter in the middle or something. Could make it a bit more difficult to machine without a lathe or millturn machine
  13. Is there an active effort at lvvta to try and fix the rules or is it just a case of people who like more modern vehicles aren't lobbying at all?
  14. Remember to add a touch of titanium
  15. 4K pistons always crack from the stress relief holes drilled at the ends of the oil return grooves. Results in rods chewing up the bore. Time to get yourself some expensive swedish pistons, that sort of thing is your bag.
  16. "800W is only the theoretical power. Most of our customers are happy with the actual power of 72W"
  17. 9 years, 2 weeks and 2 days of ownership now. Just passed my 100,000th km in this thing today. Happened to be on the same piece of road that I test drove it too. Trade in value must have just plummeted to near zero.
  18. I'm running mach3, at high feeds in multiple axes it will start skipping. Otherwise it seems good enough. Is grbl a proper real time solution or do you just send it g code via serial and pray it works right?
  19. Just use my brother's secret technique and put a drill on the top of the valve stem and spin it around a couple of times.
  20. I stopped by an electronics recycling place today and found a computer I have been looking for for a while. I then proceeded to upgrade it from a pentium three with 128mb of ram to an i5 with 32gb. Was good fun at pbtech when the guy couldn't figure out what I was doing.
  21. You can get manual choke carbs that are actually for a 2E though, could be worth hunting down. Then again, can't really go past the reliability of a 4K carb
