Had just made some bushings for a small backhoe from 660 bronze, seamed like piston ring material. Turned the ID and Od the parted off 1/8th wide by .05 thick rings. When I went to split them didn't they close, don't think I've ever cut a ring where it didn't spring open. Managed to use the vice jaws to gently spring them out.

Need to mount the bearing that holds the valve linkage but a clamp and some playing with the valve timing has it purring away.
