stuffer casting second run

Post by david a luciani » Wed Dec 02, 2009 3:21 pm

hi guys,
quick update.
my venting was much better this time.
i missed on the gem top so it was a little short cast.
also there's still a turbulance issue , i'm thinking my gating isn't exactly right.

mostly just small issues which normally you'd never even hear about but people seem interested so i figured to bore you with the various steps involved.

these aren't perfect but with a little machine work are usable at least for me.
i have little time available but next week work may calm down and i'll do a third run.

note top of near casting is short on the top fingers , there's also too rough a surface for a good gasket seal.
