    Ok, I was thinking that the Core stays at it's size and if it has the final size, the aluminium could not shrink smaller than the core o_O

    If the cores don't have enough collapsibility to allow the casting to shrink, the casting will tear itself apart trying to shrink anyway. Or so I've read...

    Completed the machining a couple weeks ago. Had to take a little warm weather vacation but am back home now and will be finishing up the complete system and have a follow-on completion video in the near future.
