Popular Post Not-a-number Posted January 23, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2017 Almost worked. Got quite a bit of shrinkage in one corner on both parts. So I'll have another go and add some big risers to those areas. Other than that it worked really well! 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Not-a-number Posted March 9, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2017 What an engine! I wish I could say this was my crankcase! Sadly its on loan (like most of the other bits!). 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Not-a-number Posted March 21, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2017 Shes a pretty big job. Been at the machine shop for a week. 1 more week to go! Casting is looking good. Yet to find any lumps of sand or porosity apparently! 58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Not-a-number Posted March 24, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2017 Almost finished! Bores have cleaned up without any defects. Ports look a fraction off on some of the bores though so hopefully I can cut some valve seats that work! Not going to lie, its quite exciting! 56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Not-a-number Posted March 30, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2017 This will probably be my last interesting post for a while. Will be moving to California in a month to build space stuff. Visa came through today after months of paperwork!So good! So making parts will slow down, but hopefully CAD work will speed up! Anyway, these are spring hangers and a trunion hanger CNCd from 4140. Having a mill in your shed is key to building shiny stuff! 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Not-a-number Posted April 28, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2017 So 2 weeks before moving to the US this happens! Guy in OZ is rebuilding a T57 and needed a new block. So got to and cast one up! Didnt go 100% but still really well. On a plane to LA in 3days! Â 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Not-a-number Posted December 2, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2018 Havnt updated for a while. Been in the US living up the Freedoms. Ive been working on a lot of CAD over the last 1-2years and have just recently bought a massive 3D printer to make casting patterns. The plan is to stock pile patterns and then hit it hard when Im back in NZ Currently doing patterns for the crankcase. I'll update more on Instagram. @Barlow.Jobs   67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Not-a-number Posted January 25, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2019 This gives you an idea of how the moulds/cores from these patterns will go together. 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Not-a-number Posted June 10, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2019 Completed the 57sc Sump Model. Moving onto the pattern making designs now. These should be a lot easier than the crankcase!      Casting version with machine allowance and shrinkage compensation    First cut of roughly what the sand cores would look like.   62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Not-a-number Posted July 2, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2019 Outer mould patterns finished and ready for printing. 3D printing is good but it also means to have to design the under side! Twice as much work!       42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Not-a-number Posted August 4, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2019 I had a lot of issues with the printer. Clogging, warping, delaminating, poor quality 10kg of material wasted and 3 weeks changing parameters but learnt a lot and got it sorted. Now I need to figure out if I can recycle this stuff!  37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Not-a-number Posted October 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2019 Inner patterns for the sump complete. Just got a couple of small cores left to do for the sump. Then move on to some cam boxes! 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
