Slow Progress

Well, today was another engine building day, but overall not terribly good progress. Mike has been dialling in the cams, but even with the key in the crank holding the toothed chain wheel in place, there's too much movement. We needed the harmonic (the bit that takes any harmonic vibrations out of the crank) in place to hold it all together, but that's off being cut down. So it all came to a grinding halt, to be picked up next weekend.

Adding to that, I think the water rail I have doesn't fit the engine - I can see where it should go, but there's a whole heap of engine block in the way that doesn't seem to have been catered for in the design of the rail. So something else to look at.

So a slow week once more, as I work through some minor tasks. I've fiited (one) clear plastic 3M sheet on the rear guard to protect against stone chips, made a small bracket to mount the ECU on, and redone some wiring in the front. But that's not a great deal to show for a week.

I think next week may be focussing in on a few other things, like more furniture and stuff ;-)
