Hi All
After long hours at the computer the working drawings are coming together, it's amazing what you have to change to accommodate fixing screws etc as I go along.
The engine mounts are now built into the design so they don't look like an after thought. also I am also working on the jigs necessary. and trying to make them multi use. for the lathe and mill.
I have settled on having Individual hall sensors on each cam and separate mini coils so perhaps later by using two magnets I will be able to have auto advance.
As some of you will know The master rod causes timing problems on radial engines because only number one big end follows a circular path. all the others are slightly out at TDC ( not exactly 170° apart ) I am hoping that using separate cam shafts I will be able to get the valve and ignition timing correct .
Tooling for the lathe and mill is under review , a co axial indicator for the mill will be the on the cards.
