How will you get the bore in the valve chests parallel to the cylinders? Asking for a friend who's thinking on his next project.
The steam chest bases are parallel to the bore since they were milled with the cylinder on the same faceplate as when they were bored.

As ever struggling to keep up with your build and thoroughly enjoying it
I may have missed something, but why do you have cooling fins on a steam engine? Dont you want them lagged to prevent heat loss?
