Finally an update on the BSA main bearing conversion! I managed to start the machining of the oil feed block. This video shows some of the not so orthodox methods I used that may be of use to someone in the future?
This is very much throwing ideas about and experimenting. I can see as the machining progresses a much simpler way of making the feed block from billet, but I needed to get to this MK1 version to establish some critical dimensions, not easy on 3 different hole centres, at different heights, inside a confined timing cover with it's cover on!
Thank you to those who are still following the series, keep watching, there's more 'development' work to come.
Regards, Ade

Thanks Ade, make it as long winded as you like, I'm enjoying every minute of this project. It's really beginning to come together now. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire.

Cheers Dean, more progress was made today as well.

Been following this with interest, great to see a different approach tried. Keep up the good work and thanks so far.

Many thanks for commenting and following.

I'm looking forward to seeing the oil flowing back into the tank 👍

You and me both!Thanks for following the series

Excellent stuff. I'm really enjoying and learning a lot from this modification and your thought processes. By the way I've now watched every one of your videos from the first ever to this one and the shop tour. I have done four separate isolations for work and your videos kept me sane! Look forward to the next bit.

Thanks for your brilliant support, my videos drive my wife insane apparently 😂

@@AGEngineering I'm sure! I really enjoy your stuff. It'd be great to see a bit more of your Arduino tyoe projects. Thanks again and you are welcome for the support.

Who needs cnc.justi putting some thought in to it and just simple maching does just fine.nice work,please keep going

@AGEngineering 3 года назад

Thanks, will do! Great to have your support.

What a lot of work, still it should be worth it.

@AGEngineering 3 года назад

It's all leading up to a very simple block made from billet now I can see the 'space' I have to work with and have dimensions to go from. Who knows, I could even market a BSA crank end feed block, I'm sure I could sell at least 2.

@Dave.Wilson 3 года назад

It's coming on nicely Ade, you'll soon be putting oil though it.

@AGEngineering 2 года назад

With hindsight and my slow progress, a year later we have a barrel...

@nigelglover2296 3 года назад

Nice one Ade , I'm having ago myself, have not got a mill though so having to do it all on the lathe 👍👍

@AGEngineering 3 года назад

Brilliant, hope it works out well, any chance of seeing some video or photos? Thanks for watching, Ade

@MrLukealbanese 3 года назад

Nice work Ade, looking forward to seeing this working. I'd like you to do an A65 (mine?) ;-)

@AGEngineering 3 года назад

Many thanks, but you wouldn't want me butchering your beeza, honestly 👍

I've watched this project with interest , as I recall an article in I think Classic Bike when a chap did this modification , and the SRM modification is similar . I've often wondered if it were possible to drill through the oil pump body on the suppy side , block the original outlet , and run a pipe or block from the oil pump to the end of the crankshaft avoiding the various drillings through the crankcase .

@AGEngineering 3 года назад

Thank you for following the project and channel. If you find cybermotorcycle.com/archives/bsa-a10/mybsaa10rollerconversion.htm, the late beezabill's version, he did something along those lines. However, you cannot just feed the crank by blanking the pump original outlet as the prv, camshaft, timing side, top end etc also need an oil supply, but blanking just the main bush supply without cutting off other feed areas may be possible. As you can see from the videos your enemy is the small complicated space you have to work in inside the timing cover, and my route was to cast the area in alloy and machine away that casting to get a design. I am working on a much simpler billet version now which is easy once you have done the ground work, and I shall release drawings and dimensions of that in due course so anyone wishing to attempt this conversion would be able to skip the 'development' stage, which has been one of the most challenging parts of this job so far. All the best, Ade.

@jonsoons 3 года назад

What crankshaft did you end up using? I can't find the video where you talk about that.

@AGEngineering 3 года назад

Still mocking up with the dummy crank I made, onto the proper crank I got for the job next

@johncollins2037 3 года назад

where did the casting come from, it is full or porosity

@AGEngineering 3 года назад

One of my first ever castings, take a look about 5 videos back, all is explained. This is MK1, don't worry...thanks for watching ,Ade

Hi guys any chance of you fiishing off this conversion please .

@AGEngineering Год назад

Yes, it will get finished. Hopefully, get back to this again soon, I have been gathering more parts for the project while finishing the Honda project. Thanks for following, appreciated.
