Mounting an Audi cam position sensor in earlier heads. A bit of a trick as there was an oil passage just a little?deeper!

purpose of the slots in the cylinder head ?

Years ago I became dissatisfied with the compound
hold down?arrangement?on my Commercial 12X36 and acquired a pair
of cast iron pieces big enough to make a new crossfeed table. It
was "T" slotted all the way across and the base of the compound
was heavily modified to use four screws as a hold down system.I
believe it doubled the stiffness of the lathe from tool to
spindle. I mde "Yellow Pad" drawings (Still somewhere!) of all
of the changes and these plus the second piece of cast iron were
used by a friend to produce one that used a 10" Atlas compound
that fitted a section of dovetail on one end of the new
compound. I have?used and loved this?arrangement?for years. And
I have?milled slots in the end of a 3 foot long cylinder head, a
job too long for the Bridgeport mills! If there is any interest
I will root round for my drawings and see if I can get them out
to any interested parties!? Bill

I have a milling attachment built for an Atlas Clausing
12X36 gathering dust that I do not need, my mills do that
kind of work better. It came with the lathe and I’ve never
used it. Is this something you’d be interested in? If so,
contact me offline or via DM.
