RE: Lathe for conversions
Yes...Be VERY careful when turning the hub by hand, if the engine gets loose it will grab the hub and climb up whatever is in the way...You can turn the hub either way....I bolt the engines to a 1 inch steel plate, then put the plate in the vise and use FORCE to tighten it....A thousandth or two at a time will work, the hub is usually straight enough to take only a few tries to get it faced all the way off....
