They can CNC an entire engine block out of billet these days with those new 10 axis CNC machines so I am sure that is possible, not that you would do it because its so expensive but it can be done.

You can do it on a 3 axis CNC mill, it just means alot of setups and jigs to do it accurately.

I havent heard of anyone using a 10 axis cnc mill. I was aware only of 5 axis machines which is what most use to manufacture billet blocks and heads and compressor wheels and so on.

When I was at tafe we watched a video of a 5 axis machine making some kind of billet turbine wheel. It was huge. The motions it was moving in while the cutter was chipping away at the blades as the bed was rocking around was just amazing. Highly recommend looking at some of those cool CNC videos on youtube if nobody has seem them before!

Agree with redevil, I dont even know where to start. Maybe go back to what your aim is from this. If you want to freshen up your engine with a rebliable increase in power. I would get a standard re

I doubt many people do use them but here is a 12 axis one

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
