A helpful tip, a guy can cut little strips of sand paper whatever grit a guy prefers and super glue one end of the strip to a wore out little sanding drum then a guy can save on buying sanding drums. I usually do this all the time especially on the exhaust ports does a better job at smoothing the exhaust and faster then finger sanding to get that nice polished exhaust
I live in Oregon, so theres weed shops on every other corner. I went in and bought my scale there and Damn is it acurate! The dude was like how can i help you? I said i need a scale that goes up to around 200g and he looked at me REALLY funny 😂
I know your not taking much off but I would weigh it grind one side, weigh it again then grind the other side or half. To keep it somewhat balanced. Again, it is likely minimal in difference but that's what I would do. Also would need a more accurate scale. Just my thoughts on the piston grind. Excited about the trenching of the cases. Also if you are going to delete the woodruff key where or how do you set the flywheel? For firing timing. Good stuff as always. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙
Theres no way u took a couple grams off, i ground the shet outa my piston and had a huge pile of material to lose 3 grams, i thined piston, thined the inside, cut materail under pin on bolth sides as far as i dare, and at end i couldnt believe it was just 3 grams
Friday night in the shop....simple pleasures!👍

When you grind a piston and it's 3 grams heavier than when you started. Modern life in a nutshell.
Yep it's so true! I need a new scale

That's so funny!!
All the little details add up!
Yes sir
Good video thanks for sharing
I can't wait to see that thing run! Have a good one Tinman! It's Friday night in the shop for me too, anyone else?
Me too!
I want to see what the speed holes are able to do for this thing. Super interested in your process for it as well.
if your drilling holes , drill from inside up to bottom ring land ring two!
Put both pistons on the scale to check combined weight.
Drilling holes in your Pistons will also considerably lower your case pressure
Another good video of closeup work on this piston. 👍👍
Hey Jake, you only drill them below the ring, and they are very small.

Friday night in the shop👍
Just bought a 372 farmac,

How much do you charge for pipes? 385xp,372xp and 395xp may want one for each. Thanks and keep up the good work. Karl
👍👍
How is the red barn stuff - I got a p41 with a full wrap I wanna build this winter

How's the Tinman and famley
