VALVE GEAR IS BABY SMOOTH NOW JUST WAITING ON PARTS TO KEEP GOING I HAVE TO GET MATERIALS TO START ON THE CROSS HEAD GUIDES.

yep i do know i broke that 4mm tap off in that arm i have not come up with a great plan to get that out yet. valve gear is working i just need the out side arms to run the valve but waiting on the steam chest to get the right height of the c to c distance.
