Day 3: Jensen 85 - This is unfired and was given to employees of Marlborough Sheet Metal & Design Ltd in Calgary, Alberta. It may look like the ends of the boiler are flared out in the picture… they are, I have never seen it this bad in an 85 but I can only assume the end caps were too large… Another funny thing is the paper gasket jammed under the boiler strap. I don’t know if this was accidental at the factory or wedged under there because the boiler strap wasn’t tight enough… it can stay for now since I won’t be firing the engine. I also didn’t have any NOS burners easily accessible today, so I stuck a Dean Williams homemade alcohol burner in for the picture. I was able to get a very close paint match using Rustoleum textured paint.
