I was not saying the tap was a good idea, I was simply saying that in that case it cured an unseated bearing.
I have an OS LA .10 that I spruced up a little as it was badly skinned up when I got it.

People "get away" with the hammer whack often. More often the just think so. Those tight installations more often than not are a direct result of a failure to fully seat the OUTER race of one or both bearings at the bottom of their bores. Outer races should be set in place by pressure squarely applied to the outer race only. Attempts to seat outer races from forces applied to the inner race can be destructive as the forces run from single points along the inner, thru the balls then to another point on the outer race. Little dents on all parts result at the points of contact. The best way remains even pressure, heated bores. A slight tap from well fitted mandrel also works well with minimal stressing.
Also important is absolute cleanliness as a little chip or grit can hold the race from finding home.

Market ready, name it Ham Fist Eliminator.
Nice work.

I heard from Pete today, poor guy is living under medieval conditions! He did make a joke so he is soldiering thru it all See below.
Hey mike really hoping all you people will come thru this with flying colours friend. The short answer is we copy most things you guys do at a slightly later date, yes we are heading for lockdown soon. We've got a few luxury cruise liners anchored right outside perth at the moment with thousands of people unable to disembark, the joke is we'll be running out the old ww2 coastal defence cannons soon. The panic buying here is not restricted to toilet rolls, but the one that really gets up my nose is all the people buying my favourite brand of low class beer dangit !! now the gummint has placed restrictions on alcohol sales and i can only buy one carton of emu export a day instead of two.
ps a quick joke...

Been looking for gasket paper, what I measured for the cam housing material comes out to .005"(.15mm) and found some polyester material. Wonder if that will work. I programmed the laser to make the back cover and cam housing gaskets, and can cut them from card stock, but it's too thick. The rocker gaskets are a bit trickier due to their oblong and flattish shapes, so will need to trace and scan and import into the software so I can bit trace the shape better. For those the cardstock I have will actually work.

Check with your local NAPA Auto Parts they use to carry a lot of different gasket materials. I use to make gaskets for my old sports car before I sold it.

acdii, .15mm or .25mm gasket paper is what you want for the cam gear housing. Sometimes the .15mm isn't quite thick enough and gears bind. .2mm always works but in some cases it allows for a lot of play in the gears. It all depends on manufacturing tolerances for each engine.

Yeah, thinnest paper I can find is 1/64, which will work for the .25mm, but can't find anything thinner in paper. Napa doesn't have anything thin like this either, already checked.

Here, they have .15mm and .2mm cellulose fiber paper.

Samples, of course! Why didn't I think of that? I used to do that regularly for test development at Dell. Of course I had some serious clout back then. Companies would bend over backwards to get our biz.
So if we all team up and request samples and send them all to acdii he'll be stocked up for years? I'm in.

Cannot recall. It works well with LiPo and A123 . It is a name brand, quality unit.
you must plug the pin in to turn it off. I am not crazy about that part as it seems to rely on the integrity of those disconnect contacts I n the coaxial connector. It may be a buffered electronic switch that would override intermittent contact noise . In that case, better.

I just found it using a googlei mage search. It's a VR-8LG, 8 amp adjustable voltage regulator/fail safe with dual rx ouputs. It was marketed under several different names and has been superceded by a 10 amp version with jumpers instead of a trim pot for voltage adjust. Fail safe is: plugged in (no power), unplugged (power on).
Thanks
Thanks

well guys my wife may have the C- #19, but not 100% sure.
last week a guy where she works was sick, then last Saturday she got an Email telling her the shop was closed because some guy was tested positive for C- #19. well she has been sick, first she thought it was a sinus cold.. now, for the last 3 days she has had a weak dry cough now and then, a temp of 98 to 99F. her right shoulder and right side hurts, her straighten is low, her voice is weak. but other than that she is good to go.
I am now thinking I may be coming down with what she has, at times my bronchial tubes feel rusty and warm, and at times my voice is weak. but that's all for now. IF what my wife has is C- #19 it's not really that bad.
what get's to me is that the Email said the guy she worked with was tested, well, why not my wife. too add, the guy never got closer to her than 8 or 10 ft.

Those are sure signs of the virus, from what I read. Do not take any Ibuprofen!!!! They found the Ibuprofen is actually causing Pneumonia with this virus. Stick with Acetaminophen, AKA Tylenol. Do you have access to the teledoc? now is the time to call them and get a test, just to make sure.
My wife and my mother are still commuting to work, while the kids and I are at home. Not something I am thrilled with, but at least for my wife they have implemented standards to keep people away from each other and have plenty of sanitizing things going on as well.
