Crank case, with tapped cylinder mounting holes
I was able to bore the cylinder holes with the tool I made. It cut very well after a little more grinding, and dropping the spindle down to the slowest speed!

Machinging the bearing case
I used 2" square aluminum for the bearing case to prevent waste, so it came out about .1" undersize, but it's not critical
