So, are you telling us this project is going to move "at a snail's pace"?

I welded the "Norton" on this cover for reasons I shouldnt say but it wasnt as successful as I had hoped with a bit of porosity but JB weld and silver paint fixed that. In your case, a bit of porosity probably wont matter

Yes, both during the build and probably after.

"for reasons I shouldn´t say"??? Wrong approach, that just makes everyone really want to know :lol: But what about those rocker shaft plates? Your own design?

Well, the friendly welder is back from holidays and presented me with this:

Looks fine to me, but he says there is minor porosity.Other than that, it apparently welded easily.
For the record, it warped by about 1mm, easily milled flat. The biggest pain was holding it with the gasket face up for machining. Done now, but does anyone know how the factory did it?

That looks like he did a lovely job!
