Re: Shaft log size

Thanks guys I appreciate the feed back I’ll continue onward. I’m also on the hunt for a Cummins 330 long block. One of my motors was shot. Pistons were torn up and crank had scoring on it along with a cracked head. If anyone has a lead on a long block or fully built motor send them my way.

As others have said its all about the alignment. What kind of engines do you have?
I have Cummins 330s I used a mock up block and aligned everything before I glassed it all in

Re: Shaft log size

It’s not that I’m worried about the thickness of the tube I glassed it in really good I’m more worried about the clearance of the shaft while inside the tube.

Shaft log size

Good afternoon sandbox I’ve installed my shaft logs 2 inch I.D 2 1/2 O.D and my shaft size is 1 1/2. At the time it seemed fine 1/4 inch all the way around but after reading Capt Pats shaft log write up I see he says you want a 1/2 all the way around.

What was I thinking

So November Of last year I was looking for motors and gears for my project 31 bertram. I was looking on the old Facebook marketplace where I came across a 33 Concorde flybridge. It had Cummins 330s with the zf220a gears. The guy wanted like 25,000 so I laughed and moved on. A couple weeks later Jay ...
