Full view of con rod machine alias lathe :) Or is that lathe alias con rod machine.
Close up of boring bar which just happens to be a piece of home cast aluminium.
Getting close to size now so have to adjust tool very carefully.
Main bore finished and with a smaller boring bar I am machining the oil reliefs, the ink marks on masking tape are my depth stop marks when lined up with front edge of bearing.
You may be able to just see the oil relief, it's about 10mm in from the front and it stops about 10mm from other end of bearing.
All done and looking pretty good
Test fit of rod on crank and it turns very nicely. Now I can get on with cleaning up and preparing the block ready for a nice paint job.
This should be a new window, minimise or close it to return to Home Page or press
