Rear Crank Timing out 2.5 Degrees - Part 2

#1 Post by WVWRZ500N » Thu Feb 11, 2021 5:24 pm

Good Day Fellow Club Member and Future Members:

I have been notified that I will have a prototype key sometime next week. I will then do a mock up engine and test for exacting timing. Following that, given no refinements are required, I'll be ordering a run of the keys made. Thanks for your patience.
Regards,

Quick update. Our recent extreme cold weather put a stopper on the machinist's operation for several days as staff were very limited. Hoping to see something in a week or so now that things are getting back to some normalcy.

UPDATE!!!! I really kind of despise machinists that promise and never deliver! That's goes for pretty much anyone actually. So I have went through two machine shops local to me only to be passed off. I have now gone another route and have two prototypes in hand. We'll need a slight refinement and we'll be ready to start manufacturing.

Thank you all for your patience as this has been very frustrating for me as well. Hopefully not too much longer.
