So got to work on the heads today. Had a few hiccups along the way. My Chinese Dremel's flexible extension decided to melt itself into a tangled mess. It felt a bit hot, then there was smoke and then it kinda tangled itself into a knot and stalled the motor. So I went out and bought a proper Dremel extension with a mini chuck. I'm hoping this one will last a bit longer, not that I'm complaining about the old one, I've had it a few years and it's done a fair bit of work.
Next drama was that I didn't tighten the new mini chuck enough and it proceeded to throw my carbide burr across the workshop. I heard it hit the wall of the garage. After pulling everything apart and searching for nearly an hour I gave up and went out and bought another burr. Typically I could not buy exactly the same burr. but the one I got was close enough.
So with the dramas sorted I managed to get all the exhaust ports done and one of the inlets. To do the inlets I decided to remove the guides and smooth out the guide boss. I also took the opportunity to shorten the guides by 5mm and taper the ends. This opens up the port area a fair bit as the stock guide pretty much sits in the port and obstructs it. I blended the roof a little and smoothed around the guide boss but didn't really do too much else. Will finish the other three some time during the week.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.
