SIDE SLIDE VALVE
Hi, to those who follow us, a Happy New Year. Here are the latest set of photographs to put in our gallery. (16-01-2013)
The opening photograph shows the drivers cylinder side slide valve assembly, with the cover removed. Given the time this has been exposed to the elements, it's in good condition. As we move through the sequence, its shows the assembly from the early stages of cleaning and inspection, to slide valve removal. Once removed, it is intended to clean area thoroughly, removing any debris, then blue the valve faces, to see how flat the faces are. This will show if they need lapping or worst case, machining. This work is carried out by the project manager Mick Hatton.
