If anyone is thinking of modifying there gear cover to use an adjustable DAP gear I am using a Harley Davidson Derby engine timing cover. (Found on Amazon) I like how it has a Oring on the inside hopefully it doesn’t leak but I feel it will be less of a pain to pull off not having to use RTV Silicone if I don’t have to. Welding on 3/16 steel ring, then will drill and tap the five holes. Plan is to use blue lock tight to keep the bolts from loosening. On the derby cover the Oring is inside of the fastening holes so the bolts shouldn’t need to be sealed and the blue lock tight should seal the threads.

Not sure if you guys are into 3d printing. I just started playing with cad and 3d printing. I want to get into making some on the cnc but I want to design and program the stuff myself so I can make changes on the fly. Both of these I had all the help with lol. But I am learning

Finely the sun came out and it hit -1, I had a chance to get into the shop for an hr. Now i have too try and remember where I am at with my too many projects on the go at the same time. Any one else have the same problem? too many projects. I want to get on with the rat , but my sons truck is in the way and needs to be finished for safety it is on the 2 poster and in my way. I want to get the 12v running and see if the twins are going to work with the ve .

Well seems I am swapped with 12v for the next couple weeks. Today’s job. Clean up the shop a bit and finish these to heads off. What’s everyone doing today

Just reaching out to all you fine folks. I have been reading up on ceramic coating pistons. Benefits by reducing piston temperatures, minimizes friction, prevents detonation, and boosts fuel efficiency. I am not sold on fuel efficiency myself but I do see the pros with friction and piston temps. Has anyone on here done this or have researched up on it and can give feedback back on. Even if you tried it and didn’t see that it was worth it.
