Well what I envisioned as a R-1340 Wasp engine for the P-26 is coming together. Five cylinders down and four to go. May need to do some touch up of the silver paint. Will need to add push rods, spark plugs and wires to the front. The back will need exhaust and intake pipes for the manifold added.

The crankcase cover has been glued in place and the first coat of primer applied. I like the way the hex nuts look.

Crankcase with the bronze thrust bearing for the intake manifold glued in place. Used small coffee stirrers instead of the bamaboo rod. Will glue larger stirrers to the small stirrers so the set screws will have a tight fit.

The P-26 crankcase needs bolts so I first drilled with a .5mm bit followed with a 1mm and then a final 1.5mm bit. Inserted and glued 1.4mm hexagon rod to represent the bolt heads. Did not need to do this since the bolt heads will be covered with the heat shield but I will know they are there and should be.

Here goes. 5 ribs in plan. 17 on plane. Compromised with 15. Not enough room for my fingers to do more.

Three of the bad crankcases. Total of six before I got the one that was correct. Turns out I need to go back to grade school to leaarn how a protractor works.
