datsunfreak Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Why the two piece design? Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 It was requested for the ability to valve adjust without running the risk of wrecking the cover gasket. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 How often are they adjusting the valves?!? :rofl: I always just figure valve adjustment time is also a great time for a new gasket... Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well the car is used weekly for racing so who knows how many times they need to adjust. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I am going to be surface milling for a couple hours on these just to get the surface finish I would be happy with. I got a 3/4 and 1/4 Bull-nose End Mill for these. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 OP-1 on both right and left vents are done. OP-2 is programmed. I will say these guys very expensive to make. Even with a faster machine the cost could be cut in half. Right now these are at $1000.00 of machine time. Quote Link to comment
njoz1200ute Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Make a mold, reproduce in plastic. Then chrome plate them Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I am going to make a set for myself. Then mothball the program until I can afford a newer machine. I don't think we have enough 1200 owners buying to justify a mold venture. If we did I would machine a injection mold. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Playing with my CAM software I was able to cut my times waaay down on these vents. I also managed to make some bad tool marks on the very first one from experimenting. Gotta have 2 spots welded up. :( Quote Link to comment

graveltrapp Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Seems like Mastercam as well other software seem to have efficiency as an afterthought. I watch the mills run the same line sometimes 2to3 times when one pass would have easily taken care of it. weird. Quote Link to comment
