A Good friend of mine has a 1960's Russian Cold war 4 cylinder diesel engine. It is one of those small engines every Army seamed to have back then, used for lots of dull mundane job. This one came from a "Primer Mover" as a Donkey engine.
To set up the static timing you need to a plug what is the 2 pin type. The tool in the tool kit should do it. But some one one had misplaced the rubber seal and used some hard gasket material.
So I was called din to make a more meaty version.
The dowels are 10mm diameter, as are the holes.
I wanted a snug fit.
The bar was heated until spit instantly boiled off. The pins were frozen using a decent amount of "Dry ice"
Then dropped into the holes and we went for another coffee.
When we came back they were well fitted. So a blob of weld on the back and my friend left.
I know it worked, he called me to tell me.
Did he invite me over to help etc NO.
What a git.
