My machine is has 80 feet of travel in X and about 18feet in Y. I really don't have the tooling and fixtures in my facility to do much. For small stuff I go to the tool room where we make our fixtures and things like that. I'm gonna start goin up there more often to use their smaller machines.

Damn thats awesome! I work in a machine shop also, but our mill only has 4x3 feet of travel, and our lathe is tiny. Yeah, what do you guys make?

That doesn't require any skill nor does it look difficult. How long does it take to make something like that?

With welding, machining, and assembly it's usually about 6-8 months total from start to first dig.

Your next mod, shovel on the front of the car. Then you can't ever complain about snow being in your way lol. Or you can mine for gold to support modding your car.

Do you want a Type S one? I've got one laying around in the garage. I think it has a TB attached to it also.

Use a type-s or a 09+. If not nothing else is worth it.

Got all the crank bearings. All come out to 0.0011. Crank fits (with a small amount of machining to the block and #4 bearing cap (2nd pic)



Had to machine this lip to get the crank to fit. Took all of 30 min or so to do.
