so when are you going to start modifying intakes for injector bungs and fuel rails?

Well I was kind of thinking the first one I did was going to be my own so that I can take as long as I need to make some fixtures and jigs, and to get the process sorted out well. Then I could actually do others and maybe make a little money on them.
I guess if someone wanted one done, I would do it, but it might take some time. I would need to get some more things to do it.....injector seat drill, Argon bottle for my Tig welder, make some injector blanks out of steel,
I have been thinking of doing the paperwork to start a business, for the name I have been really liking "Benedict Machine and Fabrication" or BMF, hahaha. Or as my dad would call it Benedict Mechanic'n and Fix'n.

Well I decided to repower the lathe to get rid of the variable speed V-belt, as it was causing some vibrations. I ended up going with a VFD very similar to the one on the mill, and setting up 3 switches to select among 8 speeds of the motor, combined with direct/back gear I have 16 speeds easily selectable. It runs much smoother now.
I have a project going now for a buddy, he has me building a Wakeboard tower for his 20' jet boat. So that necessitated buying a bottle for my Tig welder, and building a cooler for the new water cooled Flex-loc torch. Commercial tig coolers run anywhere from about $450-800. I think I have around $100 in mine including coolant($68), fittings, and PC power supply($15) to run the pump and fan(free) on the radiator(recycled drinking fountain evaporator)(free). Everything should be getting a nice workout tomorrow, as we hope to have the tower pretty well finished on my second day off in about 6 weeks.
