Thread: ED Racer 'times two'

28/04/2010 22:18:22

Hi Terry

'and there I was thinking that rap on the fingers had put you off

You might be interested in how this goes!

Had better success with the second piston today. I confess to 'taking a shortcut' (I know I know

) last night and lapped the piston down with a very fine stone. It transpires the pistons had distorted very slightly when machining the internals and lapping that first piston to the liner revealed it's ovality

. Took the time to bore a simple piston lap today and the second is a big improvement. The first is possibly usable - it is a very tiny amount - but if it proves not to have reasonable compression it may be salvageble by 'growing it' with heat and re lapping - failing that its another piston. This time though I shall not finish turn the OD until after the insides!

All the parts are ready for anodising and I have all the neccesary except some green dye. Having spent some time looking I have not found anything so far that 'fits the minds eye'. In that case it might be blue!

Regards - Ramon
