Well other than loosing an hour because of British Summer time, and watching Jensen Button win the Oz GP (well done to both Jensen and Lewis Hamilton for a great drive in a poor car - amazing from McLaren!)at 0600 hours, I managed to get out into the workshop for a second successive day! Brilliant.......

Onto the build though........ I managed to get both stainless steel camhaft taper and threaded ends done, and also cut out the blank cams completing one piece. So tomorrow I hope to complete the cutting of the cam blanks out of the second. Completing this phase before profile cutting the cams. The second photo below shows where I got to before stopping for the day .....ignore the left hand side of the shafts since they have yet to be cut to final size. Also there will be a cross drilled hole in the left hand side to accommodate Steve Huck's idea of a marker when I profile the cams.

When the camshafts are finished to size the left hand side is much reduced (and loosing the cross drilled hole).

The tapered end of the Seal camshaft

 

Work on the Seal cams to date.

I think that when I have managed to make the cams that will be a big psychological problem over. The next 'big' job will be the crankshafts but I may have a go at bringing the castings to size first before making the crankshafts. After that its all down hill! Only 16 valves, 8 cylinder liners, 8 conrods, 8 pistons................oh *&^%% hell what have I done!!!!!
