Welcome to the group always nice to have someone from the other side of the planet. A bit of humor: is it really true that every thing that that creeps, crawls slithers, swims or flies is deadly and out to get a person? LOL We have lots of guns but guns are inert and require some kind of...

Yes that’s it I have two of the multi groove flywheels plus a plain brass one . Not all installed On the same or connected shafts . The large multi groove one is supposed to connect the two engines they line up perfectly when on the cast iron base. If you look into the instructions you can...

No I YHINK that’s a beam engine mine is called 4 cylinder mill engine. Actually 2 twin cylinder engines linked together.

Had elbow surgery so I’m struggling with bandages and preserving movement. Cut the toe off low sock and use heel for pad on elbow so I have a sock sleeve instead of tape wrap. Much more comfortable.

Sorry I had to go back and correct the site. It’s chilertern steam . UK this should get you to the steam engine section

Uber the steam engine list at chilertern .uk you can find the assembly instructions as well as exploded assembly view . My engine is the 4 cyl mill engine . It’s actually two engines connected together.

I had to go back and look at my print out drawing instructions . I did see that I had checked off that I had followed the page and step . So that is done in my mind. All ofvthe manifold piping was done as shown . That was a project in itself . They deleted the lock nuts as no necessary soni...

So I can make both cylinders the same and adjust as needed . I just wish they would have provided more exact method. I did call them and they suggested it ting flats on the crankshaft but you have to know exactly where to it them . Steam power would be better but considering it doesn’t take...

Try chilertern steam. I’m then select quad mill engine.

Try chilertern steam. Com 4 cyl mill engine

My post just crashed so I’ll try test post. I think it 90 deg.

I’ve not tried that site but I have run into other uncooperative sites although not banned before I register. I too don’t do FB messenger. Or other social media sites that make it difficult to contact I just forget about. It is nice to have special interest sites . I try not to abuse them or...

Spell check did it again. Yes I have a threaded rod I can screw in the port to exactly measure piston location . I have temporarily marked the flywheel TDC and BDC. Any setting off from this I can also mark for reference . With some math trickery I can measure the cord distance then derive the...

I’ve seen my fill f powder coating any repair is complicated by trying to get the coating off so a repair can be made as far as I kno nearly all racing organizations have banned powder coating as it often covers critical cracks and defects . I’ve repaired aluminum casting and matching a...

The piston valve does move freely even the eccentric rotates smoothly too spel check messed up again. I do have a threaded rod that I can screw in to contact the piston then I can measure exactly where the piston is as well as mark the flywheel .

I too don’t think the hydrogen will be a problem . I’d also skip the 4?ring piston for the same reason given if you really want to complicate things you could make provision forevs **** ring but just making the ring would be a challenge . We have used these on race cars for years . They are...

I have a threaded to that I screw into th port to contact the piston I can measure this accurately with my digital very near then switch to the second cylinder . I’ve already don this part. The chilertern eccentric is a bearing with a flange in one side the you have th other side held in with...

The eccentric is two piece assemble that can be disassembled . Thank you. I YHINK I see where you are going here . Essentially operate the piston valve by hand untill it puts pressure on the bottom or back side of the piston . I’ll certainly give this a try I should be able to measure the power...

Hi all . I’m back to working on my two cyl double acting mill steamer from chilertern stem in UK this is a piston valve engine valve controlled by eccentric on crankshaft. There is no access to the ports in the steam chest without disassembling the entire thing . I am running on compressed...

I too use SW. but I’ve tased Inventer and several others earlier systems . Good to know that Fusion may have issues. We are currently planning on a resin printer to actually see” models so another learning thing . But valuable before committing to chip making . I would be nice to have a...
