Machining Cylinder Heads Part 3

[@MyHeap]

Great series Mr. Crispin. I am enjoying it very much. Joe

[@9traktor]

Fine British craftmans work!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Thank you for your clear and concise explanations! You can make the most complicated sound easy!

[@capitanschetttino8745]

A really beatifull job. Congratulations!!

[@GuyBarry1]

I feel like I just got a fix for a terrible addiction after going cold turkey for weeks! ahh, much better now, wonderful stuff Mr Crispin..

[@mathewpolzin5866]

I enjoy watching just to see the progress being made and see the train come together in the abstract, but I love how I always pick up a few new simple machining techniques along the way.

Hi mr Crispin. Absolutely outstanding content. You think you are quite clever as a person 😉. It turns out I'm just so many levels from mr Crispin .It's a pleasure to watch you make those really quite advanced parts. Yet you make it look easy. Ha ha all the best Dave 👍 from up t North Rochdale

[@rupertpowell]

Great set-up tips there Crispin. Thanks again. Look forward to the next installment.

[@63256325N]

Good to see you. Will be standing by for more. Thanks.

[@TheOnlyMosesMalone]

Great job and very clever using the adjustable parallels!

[@DrMoe.Lester]

Great set of videos. I really enjoy the in depth explanations of your processing. Looking forward to you finishing your new workshop and making more videos!

[@onlooker251]

Hi Crispin... I'm going watch this clip again just to get the maths sorted out in my mind! I sure it took some thinking about to work out the best solution for the steam porting. Great stuff - well done!

[@WhyAyeMann]

These videos are really easy to follow and really helpful. Thank you so much for sharing these!

[@PhilsProjects]

always interesting to watch and learn, great job Crispin

[@OldIronShops]

i here that we may have to steel him over the north america

[@Keith_Ward]

Chris Anderson :-) for the comment, :-O for the spelling, and ;-) from me!

[@OldIronShops]

Keith Ward lol

[@howder1951]

Nice work MrCrispin great attention to detail, looking forward to more of the same, cheers!

[@robw53]

Another excellent video! Looking forward to the next one.

[@OldIronShops]

i love seeing the clever solutions to problems like the ones you showed here very handy information

[@BillyTpower]

Your problem solving skill is most astonishing

[@granskare]

my son with a BSME from the U. of Illinois linked me to this place....I have no idea of what I am seeing but, I must say I enjoy watching :) Chuck we call it an allen wrench. Many differences in our common language :)

[@roncartwright8125]

Hi Crispin, Your video's get better with every episode & you have grown in both knowledge & confidence as each one is shown. I know it is some way off, but I can hardly wait to see your completed Loco running on the track! My very best regards, Ron.

[@Mr22pellet]

you'd make a great teacher. cracking work crispin

[@Shoorit]

I wish I found this series after it had been completed. Great videos though, keep up the good work :)

[@68sweetnovember]

Excellent Crispin.

[@TomChame]

Excellent! Great explanation of your steps, thanks.

[@chrisseats]

Fascinating! Love your videos!

[@jackasken2605]

Great job, I feel better now, keep up the good work.

[@daveticehurst4191]

Hi Crispin, great to see you back in action again, love the new DRO. KZbin is playing silly buggers here in Australia, will not allow me to watch the whole video. I hope that you remembered to make the other cylinder covers 'Handed" when you drilled the other set ? So easy to get carried away and forget to do. Keep the excellent video's coming.

[@ChrisB257]

Excellent explanations - super useful.

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

Nice work!

[@turningpoint6643]

Extremely well explained and set up. And a good example of how versatile those adjustable parallels can be. I am curious why you didn't cut the end of the steam entry relief using either a ball end mill or just taper the end of the slot to help guide the steam down and into the cylinder? Steam is really no different than the air/fuel flow into an internal combustion engine, and everything you can do to make that flow more smoothly and efficiently helps. But I suspect you have a good reason for doing that cut in the shape you did.

[@robgerrits4097]

Smart Guy! Compliments:):)

[@jmanatee]

Brilliant!

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

such fine work

[@PetesShredder]

Just wondering, since you have a DRO, why don't you just mount the part on the bed and use the XY to position over each hole? Could also clock that flat space to make it square to the machine and work out hole positions accordingly... I guess working out XY positions would be the difficult bit

[@mikebaldwin2979]

And everyone says you use math everyday, from an old man.Thanks Youngster

[@J0nnyGT]

Very good. What's planned for the next video?

[@JoshKilen]

nice job

[@abywater]

Genius!

[@smenkharebsa]

Mr Cruspin, youdo look lovelt on buie!

[@brosselot1]

good job

[@jamesbeynon9222]

Had you thought about putting in some dummy bolts to miss the steam port? It would look far more regular then and I'm sure with 11 studs left you have sufficient strength

[@robw53]

James Beynon it's to do with creating a seal against the cylinder rather than strength. By not having any bolts near the steam port it may have caused steam leaks around the area with the large amount of compression from the piston.

[@bcbloc02]

Is it just a metal to metal seal for the caps or do you use a gasket or some kind of sealer to ensure total containment?

[@robw53]

bcbloc02 I use special paper gasket material but you can use gasket sealants that are similar to silicon sealant. it just makes it messy and awkward if you wish to split the components for maintenance.

WooooW! cOOL!
