Thread: Gaskets |
19/05/2009 17:30:16 |
I am building a 5"g, "Boxhill. This has inside cylinders with the steam chest between, and the question is:- is oil and water type gasket paper up to the job or must I use something more substantial such as asbestos free material 0.020" thick? The problem with the latter is that it would leave very tight machining tolerances to fit the whole assembly between the frames without risking the steam ports breaking through into the cylinders. All suggestions welcome, eg, alternative gasket material etc. etc. Thanks in anticipation. |
