I was a bit worried I'd lose interest in my own projects, but if anything it's made stuff possible to do that it wasn't before.

The hole is straight trough, as I will more than likely be fitting the bearing from the outside and making a cover plate. It's made the machining easier as the original circling groove would be difficult to machine at home. Okay Matt, understood. Type of machines available will control the direction of engineering. Here it is no difference. However the circle groove I never found as a true problem: using some dremel-ish machine in a jig on the right level will do a lot. Alu is a soft material luckily so that goes easy. Getting the hole in the transfer cover 100% in line with the hole in the box still gives me a little more headache. I was thinking of your method when sorting out the distance of the shift fork shaft: a pointed rod in dummy bearings giving a mark in the transfer cover. As I will have the drilling done at a befriended company, all things need to be drilled in one session. So the gasket faces of the box and transfer cover need to be flush first. <<uh .. I love thinking forward 5 steps in such adult Lego Duplo project  >>

The frustrating thing for me is I work on all the machines I need daily, but we're not allowed to do our own projects on them. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

I hate that, IMO theres no better way to get an employee motivated/better trained than if they beinifit from it in an enjoyable way... ie Homers! On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

Exactly, but it just means homers have to be well planned! My boot is always full up with stuff ready for an opportunity. Even simple things like surface tables are a god send when your trying to measure something properly, like checking how bent your crank is. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

It's the most annoying thing, especially when you struggle to do something at home, or have to pay someone to do something, that you could do at work with no hassle given the time with the equipment! |

if you have lunch or work with in earshot try slip your progress and interest in doing this sort of stuff at home but lack the proper tooling alth he might jet angry or suspicious that you seem to be making progress every time hes gone haha |

I've been doing some thinking lately about oil levels in the box,and I'm trying to work out my options...

So do I attempt some kind of semi dry sump, with maybe a level hole drilled in the box at the desired level and a separate tank to hold extra oil with some kind of feed between them. i have seen this before the bloke called it a remote extended sump and had 2 pipes, one at the top and one at the bottom ( like the twin tanks with joined breathers, oil from the turbo was returned here too, i think the idea was to keep some sort of flow it was in effort to lower the engine in the chassis, seemed to work well Yes i moved to the darkside |

You could plumb it in so you have it pumped through the modded oil cooler via a restriction like a flow regulator that would feed back at the correct rate into the sump not to flood it. I suppose you may need to run more oil so there is plenty circulating the engine but not dumping back in too fast so it stores it for a while.

I was looking at a box casing on guessworks stall at MITP. There was a threaded bung in the top of the normal oil pickup (where the O ring goes) and then a hose mounted on the back of the blanking plate. This apparently went of to a filter or something. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

This is something I am considering, but I can't help thinking that if I get the return flow slightly wrong it could cause the gearbox to run out of oil. And as the viscosity of the oil changes it may be difficult to consistently regulate? It's an option though! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

I've been thinking of using the oil pickup point somehow, as it would be easy to blank off the block gallery and put a fitting on the outer blanking plate, but I got stuck at the point of knowing how to get the oil back into the pump?
Um sure there is some combo of the original pickup pipe, sump plug, and an external tank that could work but can't piece them together. Lol https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Is there a way of using a current running engine with a flow meter in the filter pipe to measure flow at different temperatures then aim to replicate |

does this mean you can now use fancy oil as was it not the mini gearbox that required non synthetic oil?

Do you need to worry about the amount of oil?
I seriously doubt it! |

I'm just concerned that the oil level might be soo high that the crank might end up passing through the oil and slow the crank down? I don't think I'd want to risk running less oil, as I'm going for a thinner grade oil now and I need volume to keep the temps at a reasonable level. I'll be running a decent oil cooler too. Just trying to think of ways to optimise things. :) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Can you get away with just fitting a larger oil cooler for more capacity, possibly a remote filter too with a larger cannister - the longer hoses will hold extra capacity too I seriously doubt it! |

I reckon your own idea of an oil cooler with increased capacity is the best way to go. |
