been out in the back yard playing with the furnace again.

looks pretty good from this side
   

not so good from this side
   

but I know how to fix it, should of put a riser on the hub to feed back into the part when it cooled off, NiBrAl shrinks really bad in some castings.

Tackit it just takes a little knowledge and a whole bucketful of heat to do it.

Second try didn't turn out o good either, its got a big hot tear in it and what looks like some sand that washed out in the hub, so hopefully the fourth time will be the good one.

heres a shot of the second pour that I did today you can see the hot tear in it up against the hub.

can you thicken the webbing from the center hub to the outer part of pulley? to me it looks like it's flowing thru the heavy sections not thru the thin.
