Thanks for your reply Bob. It took me a while to figure out how to up load directly to the forum but now that I can they all should be as large when clicked on.

I'm having problems with seeing some of these parts while machining, I'm about to break out my magnifying goggles so I can maybe see them better. One twitch, like going left when I should go right, when making these small parts will make them junk in a heart beat.

I was wanting to make a V-twin or multi cylinder engine, it would have to be a larger size, I'm learning making the small parts can be really hard so I don't know if I want to do another engine anytime soon, I'll be doing good just to finish this one.

Norman, looking really good. I am envious. I have been over a year on the IC engine on the home page. Like you said, the small parts are tough. I have mucked up 8 cylinders so far. Two of them on the last mill cuts.

You're doing a great job with the photos and commentary.

Norman,

It is looking good!  Probably better to us then you because you see mistakes that we don't see.  Just remember your trails and tribulations and lessons for the rest of us!  Thank you for taking that time to post this so we can all learn.
