You have clearly put a lot of time into the study of valve gears. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.At the LP end of a condensing engine, the issue is air leakage in through the packing due to the condenser vacuum.
As drawn, the piston valve is so long

Well, that should work for the LP cylinder, so I get a second try on the HP tomorrow.Cheers Dan
Yes Chris, things are indeed different in Texas. The State Capital building in Austin only about 40 miles from here has two large doors big enough for a horse and rider and it has been tested for a fact. As in you and the horse you rode in with.I was thinking more like wheelchair access as the overhead is not large enough for the horses.Cheers Dan
