krv3000:
hi all dun a lot more will post the pics tomorrow I drilled the bottom cap then drilled the channels for the steam ports all so did the ports for the taps once more the drawings don't show this but I no that on this engine and the v10 there a extra and you don't need to fit them  but if you did want to fit them wat is the hole you need to drill for the tap and the hole  for the feed to the tap and you need to put flats on where the taps fit on to   any way as im making me own taps  so the threaded hole ant a problem but wat is a problem is on the v10 the taps are essay to get to but on the h10 there on the bottom of the cylinder so I have a plan its to make  up sum pipes to go  from the bottom and go up to the taps that will be fitted to the side  and rather than the taps pointing out they will be pointing dawn ( i.e. )  just like your kitchen taps I all so mild out the ports on the second cylinder any way will post more tomorrow
