MAY 2010 Crank successfully balanced by a local
machine shop, J.B.Precision, to a Balance Factor of 50%. Our computer
model of the crank and counterweights turned out to be pretty accurate
because the shop didn't have to remove too much metal to
get the balance just right. We'll return the crank with the larger counterweights
attached and get it balanced to 60%. This will make it easy to evaluate
two different balance factors when the motor is ready to run.
JUN.2010 Still waiting for quotes for the cylinder machining so we are
working on sump and oil pump design. Bill Dailey at Dailey Engineering
is making a pump for us and has been very helpful with info on dry sump
oiling system layout.
JULY 2010 Received oil pump
from Dailey Engineering and it's a very beautiful piece of machining
and engineering!
