    How large are your assemblies?

    We have what I perceive as very large assemblies. I'm wondering at what size you start to have performance issues and any tips that might help managing these large files? We currently are using ST2. Are there any enhancements provided by ST4 regarding large assemblies that would be helpful?

    Has anyone had experience with piston to valve clearance on a hi-performance gas engine? (ford 302 v8). I know the rule of thumb is .080 intake and .100 exhaust. I've only got .028 on the intake, which I know is not enough. However I want to take the minimum amount of material off the piston...

Traditionally we've used cold rolled for items like linkages or lightly loaded machined parts; and hot rolled for fabricated parts and weldments. The purchasing guy here says there's no difference...

    fastening aluminum to mild steel or stainless steel

    We have a project where we have some aluminum ducting that will have mild steel support brackets fastened to them with stainless 304 fasteners. Will mild steel facilitate corrosion between these two metals faster than stainless? (The mild steel will be painted with Dupont Imron prior to...

    UV protective clear wood finish, non-conductive

    I'm trying to source a clear wood finish, probably a polyurethane, that has excellent UV properties and is electrically non-conductive. The customer is skeptical of off-the-shelf products so I need to convince him that UV protection is on the order of 8-10 years, or close to it. The wood is...
