This is another crackin` post John! :headbang: Thank you...... :thumbup: David D |
| Darren:
Thank you for showing this wonderful little engine repair John :thumbup: I would never have guessed that these engines run under such arduous conditions :bugeye: Just like a real engine, I'd never have thought it :scratch: |

Thanks John, Now I look closer it's bigger than I thought. I have the set of telescoping gauges but I thought at first this was smaller than the smallest in the set I have, if you can follow ::) JS. |

John, PM sent. Darren, On these types of engines, everything works and operates the same as the full sized ones, including all the related problems. On say the more complicated ones like a triple expansion, they can even condense the water out of the used steam to be reused, just like the real thing. John No post tonight, as I am half way thru cutting all the gaskets. |

Looking Good John :thumbup: You having fun? :) I know this is more than likely giving you a hint on how to suck eggs, but..... If you have to use screws (bolts) on the head? Then a little bit of oil (on the cars also copper grease)under the head of and on the thread of the screws (bolts) greatly improved the tightening of the head, it allowed angular torque to be applied far easier than if the parts were clean and dry.....Allowing a tighter bolt with less stress all round! A little obvious I know, but it doesn't hurt to say it out loud! ::) I have missed most of my weekend so will hopefully catch up with all this now as it unfolds? Ralph. |
