Guys,<br /><br />I just wanted to let you know that the files on GrabCad are in the native CAD format, PTC Creo (used to be called Pro/Engineer). The main reason for this is that the native files contain all of the info you need to make the part including dimensions/geometric tolerancing, material, ...

Guys,<br /><br />I have finally gotten off my butt and released the CAD files for the entire engine. I am hoping that this can turn into an open source project and we can build on this to upgrade the engine. I know you guys have a ton of Knowledge on what parts need to be upgraded. I don't know ...

We did all of the machining for the really complex stuff in house such as the cartridge plates and crankcase. We would also did things where we needed things in a hurry like the tie rods.

If you are making one to match to a particular engine then you can machine the spacer to the same dimension you measure between top hats. However this spacer may not fit on other mach...
