It's finally finished!! An overcast/ bright, day. Perfect for the final pics and video, on the tartan, in my greenhouse. Started up, in the workshop. Running faultlessly. Filled with coolant. No surface ripples. So, crank must be balanced ok. Life is good........ Then, I noticed the spreading puddle of coolant, from the rear of hopper! Time for another stripdown..... You were right, Young Frazer. The Hylomar has rolled out of the groove, on assembly! Also. The c/i cylinder is rusting, already....... So, I've ordered some O rings....... David D |

Sunds a lot better now David, Had to turn hearing aids down for the quacker. Shame about the coolant leak hope the o rings will sort it Without too much extra work. John |

Oh, man!! :hammer: Looks beautiful in the video, though, and a very impressive runner! I'm sure you'll have the last hiccup fixed in your usual fine style, David. :bow: :bow: :bow: :beer: |

| Manxmodder:
Hi David, that is now a lovely looking engine with all your mods and the extra flywheel,and it runs very sweetly too. The water leak is a minor hiccup,sure you'll soon sort that out. I am surprised to see the level of pitting and corrosion on the iron liner,maybe distilled or purified water would help.....OZ. |
