The shock mount works out fine w/ a 3.25 extension on the engine mount. It laid the angle down a bit but actually feels better than stock. The air shock will top it off.
I did get to the rotor today... I did make it w/ 6310 Alum. I got the usable fat end taper of 14.3mm, and the fat end of the rotor of 16.1mm. I cut a paper template, and then used that on some 1mm stock to cut the adapter.
The first one you see shaped on the bench was a trial to see that it could be done well. The following shots are of it installed inside the rotor, and again on the crank. It DID stick out too far from the aditional thickness of the stoch (1mm vs .9mm) but using an impact I was able to get it exactly in position. It is actually harder to remove than steel on steel. The alum deforms down into the key slot, and becomes semi permanent on the shaft. I like the way it worked out.
Here's the cut down rotor side by side w/ an oem... 2mm off made it fit but no fan...
I supose I could have shimmed the fan but that was getting too far off track for me. I want easy. This whole Ign. has been hard to set up from the start. Finally some picts of the fan/shroud installed. It all fits. Between the CVT mods/ crank mod / Ign mods. I estimate 7-8 lbs have been removed from the drive train. This engine should have NO trouble hitting MAX RPM in a second.
Finally one of my Pups... My current distraction... There's 11 of them. Plus four adults
I attempted to weld my Engine mounts, and some small added bracing, and a wire Feed welder doesn't dent the steel of the frame. I have to bring it to a buddies shop for some Tig action this week. The next step is to time the Ign to TDC on the engine. I plan to pull the jug, and do some work on the piston, and Cyl skirts. I'll post it up as it happens. I also need to measure my durations and get an idea how this puppy is gonna perform.
I really thought I would be done by now... Oh well. Always one more tweak. Allways.
