well i've been hard at work on the motor but it is still slow going, i've got less than 10 days of class day to finish it if i want to try to start it before im out of school. anywho, i've made some solid mounts for the cylinder to fix on to the case but it's still kind hacka and really poor fitting, oh well thats what liquid gasket is for!
i'd refine it more if i had time but i don't. for a flywheel i went back to an idea i had before, cut a thick disc of steel out of some 2" solid rod we have at the shop, i cut a few thicknesses to experiment with the flywheel wheigh, overal that will look good. the tricky part is getting the hole dead on the center, which it isn't, so yeah it's gonna vibrate bad. i still haven't decided on how to secure it to a 1/2" solid rod which is the crank size, a woodruff key, pins, threaded shaft and nuts? i don't know. also i found a perfectly sized pip for the intake moanifold to hold the cab and reed valve, that's another tricky part
well i've no pics today bu maybe on friday
cheers
