The Chopper Compendium

Started slotting the drive gear on the sporty pump. Strangest setup I've ever made. An end mill would polish it a little This was actually pretty quick. I started grinding the teeth off and something broke in the lathe power feed so I'm headed in the lathe repaiir direction next. https://i.postimg.c...

After 2 days of nothing making any sense I figured that the matched set of valve lifts had one exhaust lift that that was .090 shorter than the other. Think different ratio rocker arm on one valve Damn I hate e-bay sellers! Got that replaced with one out of my bucket of miss matched lift shafts. the...

Got the drive pins fitted and the gears and lobes pressed on the shafts I am using.

Made an A-dapter out of a 3/4" bolt to mount the S&S degree wheel to the Scout. Soon as I make a couple of drive pins and press the cams together it'll be time to index the cams.

I think It needs a little more lift and duration so It's getting Schunk lobes https://i.postimg.cc/rpRtWb0k/20201105-160225.jpg Just need to take the old lobes off. Good thing I got a 100 grit eraser https://i.postimg.cc/QChB2d68/20201105_160439.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/tJk1pGfh/20201105_160602.jpg ...

I had the combustio0n chamber, gasket surface, bolt holes and plug holes CNCed at a machine shop in Los Alamos then a friend who works much cheaper ( a couple of bottles of Brandy) than the CNC shop and has a Bridgeport cut the fins and the top spot faces. They are Fortal HR which is a little strong...

Got the squish set and the heads on and torqued.

Are you started on the rebuild yet? I bought a 3 hp Millport variable speed head to put on my Oakley. Found it on Craig's list. It was advertised as fully functional with a slight noise in the variable speed belt area. So far I've only found 3 completely locked up bearings the rest are quite noisy 2...

Trying out the hydraulic clutch release, it pulls heavy but releases clean enough to turn the output sprocket by hand with it in 1st gear. If it was a street bike I would increase the slave cylinder area. But I can live with it on a racer.

Whittling the hex out with the mill down takes a little creative use of tools.

Dusty

My wood butcher finally finished my custom cedar door after only eight years. https://i.postimg.cc/rsjkHZm7/20200929_122901.jpg It's hard to tell from these pictures but the Indian Motocycle emblems are relief carved. He does beautiful work just not much of it. https://i.postimg.cc/656wZKbK/20200929...

Started making the head studs out of grade 8 bolts. I'm cutting each one to be a tight fit in the cylinder. So far most are .002 to .0035 oversize. https://i.postimg.cc/nrHJxTYt/20200929-133325.jpg Only a few more to half way. I'll have to trim the one over the intake manifold they are shorter than ...

That's excellent! Have you tried Prismatic Powders?
