in the heat of the day, in the heat of the night

Dio will melt! (and with the heat today, it felt like I was melting! LOL )
That, My friends, is a block for a stirling engine.
I realize that the inside of the block looks rough as hell, it is. This is the first time I have attempted a hollow chamber in a casting. I didn't have core material so I made it up as I went along. BUT, as you can see in the next pic, there is room for the crankshaft without having to machine the hell out of it. I would rather a little too much metal than not enough and have to start over.

Anyways, I will be back with some commentary about scared herds and idiot media later. Now its time for a beer and a pizza. Back soon.
