5-Dec-09 Another five hours of work today and all the valve motion is installed! Bill worked on one of the valve crosshead guides to make sure it moved without a stiff spot. A check of the Expansion link with a couple rods verified that at neutral the tumbling shaft levers were perfectly in link with each other.
