I had a problem with the oscillating cylinder not seating properly on the steam chest. I had to take er' back apart a bit & mill out the stanchion to make a bit more Clearance for the crank shaft to clear & thus seal the cylinder to the steam chest completely. here's what I did.  I show this only to help diagnose problems for other steam enthusiast.
