RE: Casting engine block
I have also seen the way some motorcycle cranks are done- alot of times, the crank throws are just a serious pressed fit together- I just can't see acheiving the needed accuracy like that without some major investment in tools and know how- also, this is one of those cases where the small size of what we are working on makes it harder also. The idea I saw in a post on the spot welding together of the counterweights sounds do-able. I will have to look into that.
I want to focus my attention on the smaller ones- like made from 23cc echo parts- I have a box full of old 23cc echo stuff from commercial trimmers. They are high quality parts.
Plus, I don't think my boring head will go big enough to do a case for the G-62's.
