Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
For me the engine is all new and a lot of the materials are different. Sometimes what I thought I knew does not apply. I mean how hard can it be to make eight single cylinders run the same? It seems like the engine wants two things every day, time and money

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I did get my Rimac tester to repeat to the .001'' when testing for coil bind. It was an easy fix. Remove POS pinion support and make new brass bearing and install. Modify stop to install 5" dial indicator. Make positive stop for table. Fab table extension for dial indicator. Use 123 blocks to calibrate. Rube Goldberg we be so proud.
In 16 springs the range of coil bind varied.022". That would not be so bad if hardened shims were available in increments of .001". If target is CB is .050" and I can't get closer than .010" I missed it by 20%. Last edited by Larry Hill; 05-17-2019 at 08:09 AM. |
