Tried it on my Nord now, boring was no problem, honing impossible so they were removed.
after seeing that I think I might be able to do that on my cheap china lath if it has the travel needed."We then bolted the cylinder between a set of torque plates that were secured in the lathe's chuck. Torque plates recreate the clamping force put on the cylinder by the heads when attached to the motor. A cylinder can grow by as much as a thousandth of an inch after torquing. We used 40 lb-ft to secure the cylinder."
I heard a rumour he's starting up an olive grove to convert cooking oil into racing oil..turn some of your knowledge into profit.
It's all about compromizes. Spend 1/3 of your time pimping. Then you can spend the other 2/3 of your time on the alfas and have plenty of money to do it.Maybe you got something there Kevin! F*** the oil pump...The babes can bring in much more $$
