Description:
The engine was found in the scrap by one of my friends and, because of the
ignorance, filled with water, but the supposed "steam engine" did not
work. So I was given this to examine it. All the bearings were worn out, the
crankshaft being bent, the displacer being airtight any more, and all parts had
been rusting for a long time. After many hours of intensive work including new
paintwork, the engine runs fast and smoothly, owing to the reworking of all moving
parts.
