Parts are sitting in Evaporust. I'll get it back together and apply some air pressure for our viewing pleasure..
Mr. Stoker sir, I see what you mean about the jam nuts. I ran this on air just to see what happens. I oiled it first of course. It runs very smooth and quiet.
Do you think it would be different under steam? meaning the valve play.
I've heard they run different-better under steam. I'm just wondering what motivated the last owner to lock the nuts?
