Looking better with every update.
Could you tell me what the sizes are you've
used for wiring the ignitionbox?

.0075 for the smaller sizes, .012 for the larger (yellow).

The alternator is pretty much done. I’ll add a couple more pieces of mounting hardware and wiring after it is installed on the engine. Since it sits down low, like the starter, I dirtied it up a little. It is made up of more than 30 pieces, mostly aluminum, but also milled resin, steel, brass and styrene.

Finished transmission. I know it is well into the hundreds for the parts count on this sub-assembly, but I have no actual number. Mostly styrene construction with several brass and aluminum pieces.

Oil Pan with mounting hardware.

Water pump (with alternator bracket) and timing cover.

Oil pump. Well over 30 pieces, likely over 40. I know I machined 11 parts for it just today.

[Scale-Master]

Water pump and timing cover installed…

Timing drive cogs and pulleys installed…

Timing belt installed…

Still need to make some more hardware/fasteners…

[Scale-Master]

Timing and oil pump drive set is done.

love seeing your updates, always full of details!

Thanks guys.

The bellhousing and motor mounts have been bolted the block. The oil pump and distributor are installed. Pulleys for the belt that drives the water pump and alternator are installed. The dip stick and clutch slave cylinder are installed. Some hoses and plumbing have been started.

I made the dust plate and bolted it onto the bellhousing.

The oil pan, starter and alternator have been installed.


Also attached to the oil pan was the remote oil filter, some of the oil lines have been hooked up.

I insist, may be you can start this engine!!!!!
Amazing man, all the built process is a masterclass!!!
Congrats

Absolutely amazing build...I have been captivated by your skills throughout this project!

A question for you please regarding the milled fins on the rockers covers, ignition box etc? Do you use very small diameter end mills, or slitting saws. I've been trying to do likewise for ages, but without any decent success!

The smallest end mills I can find are 1mm, which are too wide, even for most 1/12th builds.

Thanks guys!

I used end mills for both of those parts John. The ignition box fins were cut with a 1/32 end mill; working in resin it wasn't a problem.
The cam cover fins were cut with a 1/4 inch end mill. Since it is a stepped design, almost any size end mill could be used. But the pockets for the mounting bolts were done with a 1/16 inch end mill.
