David, Rob...... Thank You! :thumbup: David D |

All stripped again...... Looks better than the first stripdown! :thumbup: Starting to clean parts, and adjust them to fit each other properly. Never seen a drawing, so I'm building blind. :scratch: I used Bluecol top up mixture for coolant. There is rust in the nooks and crannies, despite piping air through the engine for 3 days, after running. Would machine coolant mix be kinder? What do others use? David D |

Made a little headway. Spent a lot of time filing and fitting together. Cleaning out threaded holes, and shortening new screws to fit. Painted some parts........ Not happy with the deck surfaces. So, will scrape off, and re paint. :( Didn't like the pifflin' 3/16"dia. m/s crankshaft, holding a 4.5" dia. cast iron flywheel. :scratch: So, I replaced with 6mm silver steel, and new bushes...... In real life, these engines were usually located in the scullery, to supply water from the well, to an in house storage tank. Does anyone know what kind of pump would be used? David D |
