Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Thx Ade for info...i'm running the instruction spec'd lash of 0.5mm (0.20")...Also my 1st H&M engine experience. It usually starts 1st crank hot or cold & hits scary hard (about 45/min) that  i'm kinda
 relunctant to fiddle unless anyone experienced Knows resetting to Tdc will make noticeable running improvement. Crank & cam was tampered with during prev bearing upgrade so anything non-factory is possible. I need to know if resetting closing from current 38 Btdc to Tdc will make it better running...thx again, ..tom.
