Nice work, you're moving right along.
If you're talking about the shaft for the spring perch I used an air hammer and penetrating oil to work the shaft back and forth until it finally slid out.

Karl,
Great work, I just put the bogie wheels on one side. I have a long way to go to get to where you are. It looks like you're moving right along.

Eric, did you pressure test the system as Todd had mentioned and was that loose bolt a head bolt? How about the cylinder walls any cracks? Usually if a cylinder has a water leak the top of the piston and cylinder head would be clean or cleaner than the others. Did you notice any excessive white...
Eric, pull your spark plugs out to see if there's a sign of water in a cylinder or cylinders such as a clean plug. Also check to see if the top of any pistons are clean.

Thanks Karl, My motor seems similar to yours, I have good compression, oil pressure and vacuum. It does smoke a little and has some blow-by. All cylinder compression is 120. I don't think it needs a total rebuild but I would like to fix it while the track is in pieces. Thanks again Gary

Hi Karl, I'm getting to the point of doing work on my motor and looking for some advice. Can you tell me about your in-frame, what you did etc. ? My motor seems to run good, but I do have some blow-by.
Thanks Gary
