Thats excellent! Now we just need to heat you up a bit more so you breath out steam...!Watching along, looking great!
The steam test was successful untill the plastic pipe broke !! I had to change the valve to get the pressure on the port face because the gaskets 1/16" left too much gap This 1/16 equates to 1/4" on the full size engine. The slot in the valve was filled with J B Weld, then filed to make a good fit. The electrically fired boiler makes it quick and easy to produce the steam up to 80 Lbs per square" Cant put any photos on this post at the moment but will try later !!
