Hi John , welcome & warm greetings from St. Paul in, looks like you have a lot of aluminum there, if the pistons are made of brass or steel ...ect you would have a contrasting expansion rate & likely not have a viable "on steam" runner. it is a concealed arrangement that is quite hard to understand how it works without "cracking" it open.
