It was a lathe....

 

Would be my guess, the old blue painted lathes are a death-trap, used to use one on an engineering course

planer?

Not a planer, but there was a guy in hospital with me who had planed off 4 fingers from the knuckle side. He just had 4 finger length flaps of skin left. Poor guy.

Anybody (Spud in particular!) know what a safe thickness is for a home-cooked 346xp (NE) cylinder gasket for maximum squish?

Clean the carbon off the squish band and the top of the piston and it can be removed completely. This should give another 15 - 20 psi but if measuring with a gauge, give the engine a few light turns with the starter before yanking it over hard. The mod can take out the gauge schrader valve very easily:blushing:

 

Use a high temp liguid gasket to seal the base and I personally check vac and pressure afterwards:thumbup:

 

Worth opening up the Muffler exhaust hole as well, a very easy mod to do with a dremmel:thumbup:
