Works been slow over the last couple of days.
Really fiddley stuff cutting back bodyfiller and shaping the fins around the head.
I've got the inlet done as well as the boss for the sparkplug.

Next is the fins across the head including the valves.

I've gotten the first side of the rocker supports in place.
Tricky little shaped thing to make, in the end I laminated sections of 2 and 3mm MDF and built it up that way.

Also cut and roughly positioned the valve guides, and when I say roughly I do mean roughly.

I know Charlie likes to see photos of the mess I can make before it's all cleaned up!.
Cheers
Trev.

I got quite a bit further along with the head of the cylinder today.
I've added sleeves around each of the valve guides to make them wide enough for the springs that sit on top of them.
Buy the way have a look at the second photo below.
Is it just me or does that look like one of the creators from Star Wars?.

I had enough time left in the day to make the first two of the fins that cross the head.
Mind you their the easiest as the rest need to be worked around the valve guides.

Oh before someone we all know makes a joke about whether or not the fins are straight this time?.
The answer is yes Dave they are!.
Cheers

Stop this Trev!!!
All I can manage to do when I see your posts is sit here with the mouth open drooling,
and feeling absolutely inadequate!!!
Seriously though, this is Grand Canyon work - totally gorgeous!!

Today I made a few changes to the head.
I've thinned down the top of the rocker support, and lowered the valve guides.
Also got the fins that fit between the valves done.
IMG_8420.jpg IMG_8424.jpg IMG_8425.jpg
There's some tricky little free standing fins that need to be put in front of the exhaust valve.
Then the other side of the rocker support, and the first cylinders pretty much done.
After that it's the same thing only backwards on the second cylinder.
Cheers
Trev.
