Wonderful, David! :thumbup: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: (--- Sorry I've been away for holiday for a week -- or I would have applauded earlier) It looks and runs great! ps. I am curious -- do you think it was the leak from the loose cylinder, or the need for a smaller power cylinder that was the main problem? |

Tom, Stew. Thank you! :beer: VT. Thanks! (I guessed you were away, due to the unusual silence). There was no real leak, from the power cylinder, until I tried graphite lube. Then, there was no oil film, to seal the clearance........ :palm: The ratio between cylinders was the problem. Anything less than 2/1 needs a lot of heat, for very little power output. :smart: Regarding reconstituted orphans, I think this is my best one yet...... Three hours on the clock, and the revs have climbed to a blurr, with no mechanical noise at all. Really satisfying...... :thumbup: Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts, and support. :beer: David D |
