Working on a "big" project...pun intended!
Most of you know that i do work on "Old Cars", some older than others.
Got an engine case mounted on the table of my FP4NC. Ultimate goal is to line bore the main housings...they are in poor shape.
In order to do this i need to re-establish a good datum at each end of the case for the crank hence the reason it is on the Deckel. (stretching my working range here a bit)
Bar extending from the case is a test bar that i have fitted using setup bushings. The other shaft visible (shorter) is the power output set in its factory bearings. The main housing
is the hole between the two shafts.....
No prizes for correct answers, just the fun of discovery or the demonstration of your knowledge...
Happy Holidays......

Oh, and the round stand off's the case is setting on are not part of the original piece, rather shop built fixtures to allow holding this part....
The case is sitting on its side, the actual top is seen in the second photo.
Cheers Ross
