Holy Smooth Bore Batman!

I think that is one of those early prototype rivet heads with the self locking feature, before threads were discovered! Wow and someone has the matching rivet too! That is right up there with the engineer who designed, drew, and ordered a new camshaft for an I-6 engine that fired 1-2-3-4-5-6.

That stuff belongs in a museum!

Low torque
 
You might have figured it out when you put a torque wrench on it.

You sure that isn't a press fit nut? Just requires a slightly different yolk for your squeezer.

I have a matching bolt here at work somewhere for that nut also.

Last September, my 1918 Anzani engine actually did go to a museum. It was a 6-cylinder radial with a firing order of 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Yes, really - it was a twin-row 3.

A slip-fit, clearly!

That is interesting, and only possible due to the radial and master connecting rod configuration. I guess the joke was too much inside (crank, get it) for non-engine guys. Balance and dynamic forces would render an inline 6 unusable with that firing order.

I bet that radial sounded cool!

You're gonna need a LOT of loctite for that one.

Not so sure - with 1 on the front, it might go faster!! :)
