Those are nice units. Keep in mind that assuming you run the exhaust outside (and you certainly should!) you're going to need roughly 50 CFM of air to enter the room for every 100 HP the bike under test produces. The bike will also create quite a bit of heat in the space. I've seen several...

Cool build. What do you have for a dyno and what are you doing for climate control in the dyno room?

Delrin is a great material to work with. If you use a slightly larger pilot than you would with wood you can run a wood screw into it. You can drill it with just about anything. Keep the speed down to avoid melting

i just popped in to say that I continue to enjoy seeing your project posts. I know you're a pro photographer and you're just doing what you do but the pictures are a big part of what I enjoy about your story telling. I'm glad that you and Judiaann came to a resolution on the house. I hope...

I'm thinking without mullions to make the house looke a little more modern and less busy.

I wouldn't use decking screws but apart from cost there's no reason to not use framing screws. That's what they're for.

Welp. I'm stealin' that idea. Thanks.

Before you get too attached to either option you need to talk with whatever authority regulates septic systems in your area. There are two areas of concern Your current system may be sized for the existing house and you might not be allowed to plumb to it from the shop There's a trend to...

Judging from the picture that looks like it was damaged from the out side. I assume you would have noticed if something was rubbing against it. I wonder if a critter chewed it open.

I'd do a hole saw in the mill followed up with the boring bar to clean up.

Thanks for the clarification. I should have specified the plus.

Don't use the Snap-On Flank drive open end wrenches on fasteners that you don't want marked up.

My dwell meter died about 10 years ago and on the rare occasions I work on a points ignition I've been using an oscilloscope since then. Two of my three race cars have distributors so I do use a timing light pretty regularly.

I like the hidden door bookcase idea. Since it's going to be custom anyway add some insulation to it.

I had one of those and hated it. It was fine when in use but changing the spools took more time than it ever saved. I just store wire in Rubbermaid tubs. Sorted by gauge. It's not glamorous but it works for me.

Me too. My regular grubbies are jeans and a pocket t shirt. Unless it's cold. Then it's jeans and a long sleeve pocket t shirt.

I once fixed an intermittent oil pressure problem on a 350 SBC in a C10 pickup that turned out to be half a dozen of those floating around in the pan. It would carry good oil pressure until you reved it and then they'd get sucked up into the pickup screen and block it of. Let it sit and they'd...

Use petroleum jelly, mostly known by the brand name Gasoline. That's what I've used for oring lube and to hold parts in place when rebuilding transmissions for decades.

Prior to this thread I'd never heard of Benchmaster. That looks like a really solid piece of equipment. Particularly for its size.

I'm glad it was an easy fix.
