Hi,
here is another DIY project. A copie-camshaft-machine much cheaper then a professional one. Such a machine is tested and it works.

Now it is possible to duplicate an exist cam or you can make pre-production cams for your engine.

On another DIY project you can built a valve train test bench. It is possible to analyze the valve train by a stroboscope.

Here is a photo of the DIY copie-camshaft-machine


Best regards

Yes, but in a few days. I hope I will get a video from the machine in motion.

Best regards

One of my back-burner projects has been to setup an old Van Norman piston grinding machine I purchased a few years back to grind custom cams for my single cylinder pulling tractor engines. So I'm always interested in home shop machines like this.

Probably get back to it someday . . .

I'm sure I can find someone German to translate it I live in PA Dutch Country and I know some people who speak PA Dutch German. Feel free to email it to me if you'd like.

But guys, be sure that this is copyright material. It's the DIY infos out of the famous engine tuning book of Mr. Apfelbeck.
