Thanks for the suggestion TOM,I may just do that very thing next time around. Aussie Steeve was right when he said there addictive, so far I have had a ball making this
I went to a 3-W site and looked at the porting and its quite different than what I have seen in other engines, Off subject, I just sold a NIB 3-W 275-CS I got in trade to a fellow up in Montanna. Of course I didn't take it apart,but if the insides looks anything like the outside does It had to be a winner of a engine. I just didn't have anything large enough airframe to justify keeping it. Way to rich for my blood so to speak *L*
Anyway I got started on the back half of the Crankcase (sorry no pics yet) but I should be able to get that finished up tomorrow depending on how I feel.
I also contacted a engineer friend of mine I do work for and explained my delema on the bearing issues, He was good enough to do some looking and thought it shouldn't be a problem getting me just one or two bearings, I hope he is right.
Next time around I will have the bearings in hand and build to fit them ,not depend on the bearing book only to find out you have to buy several to get just one. hope everyone is doing good and flying as much as possible.
