Thank you all very much for your kind thoughts,

i have painted the 10v, with what paint i had to hand,
just the cylinder cover to put on.

Nice work on the engine Ray, what can I say, you thrashed me to the finishing post!! Looks a smashing running - I hope mine runs just half as good as that. As with everyone else, sorry to hear about your mum.

All the best
Chris

Hi Ray, I just wanted to say, the paint job certainly meets the standards set by the way your engine runs. It is a work of beauty, and shows off your craftsmanship and personal integrity. Well Done

Very nicely done Ray, a real credit to your machining skills.

It always baffles me why these engines with a large flywheel don't have an outrigger bearing to take the weight of that heavy spinning lump. It seems to me that the bearing closest to the wheel will wear away in no time due to the downwards moment being inflicted onto it by the crankshaft having all that weight hanging out in mid air. Not only would it stop the bearing wearing away, to me, it would look a lot more robust as well.

Maybe a thought for future builds.

Ray

quick question. Im in middle off a 10v build. Have you put a steam incoming port on both sides off the cylinder? As I understand drawings there should only be a port on the right side of the cylinder. Which looking at the video off your engine running looks to be where you've connected the air line. But there also appears to be a fitting on the left side off the cylinder ( side facing us on painted engine photo). Engine looks great BTW. Hope mine turns out anything like as nice.

Ray,

Just how long did it take you to do the complete build ?

Did you sleep ?

Dave.

scrapman · « **Reply #87 on:** December 12, 2010, 02:15:45 PM »

Hi Mat

, looking at the photo the one on right is the steam chest inlet and the one on the left facing you is the exhaust outlet,

Hi Dave

, Sleep what is that?

It took me about two weeks Dave,

hi Ray

totally forgot the exhaust had to go somewhere andnt got as far as looking at the steam chest drawing yet. Was thinking inlet went into cylinder

Having thought it through now understand how valve works a lot better
