Me fingers are filthy, and smell like a pickle factory. All the rust is (almost) gone though! :D David D |

Haha, good work David :thumbup: |

Here's a pic of an 'ole, for Nick...... The tube is in permanently, as far as I'm concerned. Someone previously, has opened the engine without withdrawing the tube first. Hence the "threaded slot" in the displacer housing, where the tube should screw in place. ::) A little cleaner than yesterday. Wonder why the bronze flange ring? Here's how it fits..... And here's the inside view...... I don't think I will have much bother sealing it. (Famous last words?)..... :thumbup: David D |

Thanks David, I can sleep much easier now i've seen the 'ole! Naa, should be an easy job to seal it you may find it'll run a lot better once that's done! :thumbup: |

None of the body screws were tight. No seal around the 'ole. Stripped/ hammered in, tube plug. Bent crank. But, it would still run!! I think performance will be improved, after I've finished....... :thumbup: :D David D |
