It's been interesting looking at the stats from this ere blog, the biggest hit is from America of all places!! So to everyone who does read this..... Hi!!! And thanks for sitting through endless pages of drivel in the vague hope of finding something interesting!
Anyways, less drivel and more interesting things!!
The week has seen excitement! I'm getting somewhat keen for all this, the cylinder block is complete, apart from valve covers (which need to be off to set it up) and the high pressure piston cap, mostly because I haven't had it with me to bolt on! But I'm really pleased with the result! The block realy is a work of art!
All that's left is 2 new valve stem seals as the old ones are off centre and just wrong! And a quick once over with some gasket paper,
So now that's done, and the crank, the boiler was next and so I plugged it all up and gave it a Pre-test test! And I'm over the moon, 2 drippy fittings but that's it!
So all that's left now is an official test and I can get this lot back together!
I've left the painting of the frames up to the old man, he seems keen to get on with something so that's being done so hopefully in a few weeks that will be ready for the boiler/engine plant, as I hope that by the end of next week there may be a video of the re-birthing chuff! At least on air anyway!
Things did slow somewhat due to the wedding which was hilarious, (weddings normally are when your dressed as a pirate! ) but back to the front and work will commence!
Yo ho me hearty!!!!
