    Cheers Pete. I've lapped it with valve grinding paste and used a 'little' Loctite.
    Used a fat washer behind the nut too. Cross fingers.

    I knew what the key was for which is why I was happy with the one I made.

    Looking at the tapers I think I may need to machine the crank and the flywheel at some stage. Either that or do a shit load of lapping!

    I'll see what happens on the 1st March at Kaitoke.

    Why not try the unofficial Petone track in the weekend. It's going to be quiet given it's a long weekend and it's the sevens.

    so if they are prone to shearing from new reducing the size by machining aint going to do jack. Lightening the flywheel may be a good idea.

    The taper was in a bad state, I just didn't realise how bad until I started lapping it in. I don't think they are 'prone' to shearing - just they can if things aren't right.
    If I was going to 'hot' this motor up I would lighten the flywheel.

    less spinning weight would make it less likely to spin on the shaft and you dont have to split cases

    You're missing the point of this exercise.

    • Don't spend money.
    • Try the motor first.
    • It'll never be a competitive engine - cast iron barrel, very little finning on the head etc.

    Why would I spend time and money lightening a flywheel that has been fine for the last 35 odd years? I just didn't put it together very well.

    I assumed skunkworks was a million dollar bizness. Im just having you on as its obvious you dont have a parts motor to cannibalize.

    The Norf Welly Massif Skunkworks Bucket Factory (to give it its full name ) is a negative balance business. All we have is shite no one else will touch.
