great for freehanding firewood, not so good if you let it go.

the grinder wont get as far on its own.

neither of my grinders have guards either. get in the way too much.

I used to take guards off too until it got damn near costing me a knuckle... and yeah, guardless circular saw IS damn dangerous, good thing my dad's guardless saw blew a winding before anyone lost a finger or an arm

it's surprising how little you will be able to take out of that wall actually. I was thinking more, but if you go any further much you will mess up the entry to the small runners.

Keep at it.

Fred.

Will do!

Question: Are you going to port/polish the head?

I was thinking of seat job on the intake and larger exhausts with according seats, port and flange matching and general cleaning up.

I should be receiving a busted head for dissecting next week, after that I'll know better what to do and not to do with the head.

ha reminds of this one time a few years ago a guy that hangs out at the work shop cut a tree down in his back yard (not a small tree either i mean 15-20mtrs tall) with nothing but a 9 inch angle grinder with no guard and a 12 inch table saw blade off his fathers table saw for wood on it! farking scary it got the wobbles hard as soon as it hit wood it calmed down straightened up and cu like a hot knife through butter! the real scary part was watching him thin it out climbing up the tree cutting one handed whilst leaning out on limbs lol

sorry off topic

nice work ive never been able to use a stock fe3 inlet

[fredio54]

LOL, it's funny that you should say that....

I fitted a 9" blade to my 4 inch grinder to do some deep cuts once...

Spaced the centre out with a washer...

That was what I call unsafe :-)

How morbidly appropriate a case where a summer intern lost his arm shoulder down in a conveyor accident, lost about 1.5 liters of blood despite the immediate makeshift tourniquet and all... the compensation was about $90k.

BTW, I'll be using the FreeEMS system as soon as it's far enough to run an engine. with about 90 I/O pins it certainly won't run short on possibilities

huh hah!, nice, NIIIIIICE :-)

[fe3t b2200]

ive personally had a 14 inch drop saw blade on a 5 inch grinder and did the same washer trick! had to reach deep in a narrow gap to cut a weld where somme fool had welded a bearing to a shaft in the kill plant

STW, please post up pictures of the head you dissect. when it comes to more knowledge about where the coolant passages flow through the head im all eyes & ears

[STW]

That was the idea

[fe3t b2200]

i have a disected head but no camera lol

[bpt323]

well WTH.... camera's aren't expensive buy one

[fe3t b2200]

one thing you should learn i will never do anything cos YOU say so

[fredio54]

Knowing you, you would probably go so far as to *not* do it because someone said to ;-)

[bpt323]

Pretty please ??????

[STW]

Great news! We're back in business, I received the new block today, and by a quick look it appears to be in perfect shape.


I'm going to slice and dice the head too, and see what it's made of

I got the wiseco pistons wrong, though. There isn't enough material to machine the flat head pistons into sufficiently low comp. I'm going to have to get them changed to dished pistons. Just a minor setback...

[fredio54]

Nice, it does look good :-)
