Welcome to Club SAITO !
For me, this is just another case of "run watcha brung". Nothing wrong at all with making pretty shiny overkill tools if that's what floats yer boat.

Kinda condescending there aren't you. Quote: Nothing wrong at all with making pretty shiny overkill tools if that's what floats yer boat. Making things is fun.
The tool doesn't have to be fabricated precisely, 30 degrees of crank rotation is a "mile" and very visible if off by a tooth.

One tooth error is 15 degrees
That pic was not the finished version with a degree scale on the side.
110% for the run what ya brung

A lot like "The King of Overkill" tag
You are certainly right Dave.I have been enjoying seeing the stuff you are turning out.
Brass buffs up real sweet.
I'm overdue to make a new one too.
Learned so much since making that old piece of junk 40 years ago

The Saito big block rocker arm mounts, There is a right and a left rocker arm mount, you have to look close to see the difference, the right one has the upper pushrod seal hole drilled nearly perpendicular to the flat surface. The left seal hole has the hole drilled slightly left and slightly forward. I hope that splains it purty good.
The right rocker arm mount.
The rocker mounts are attached using the two bolts with the red material on them.

Can't touch it till Monday
I did put a pack of cigarettes in the box just in case you need one.
Oil recirculation. Super clean engine compartment and a much cleaner plane exterior. No power loss and fuel economy improved. So far, I like it. Stay tuned, I will be adding more as I learn more.

There may be yet more on the way.

Going to sort just a bit , but most, if not all of this is headed your way ........ If you want it.
