I really don't remember, but I see an extra hole there. I have the entire engine modeled in SolidWorks. You can contact me through ray-vin.com website.
Very nice like the brass casting. I am building same engine from bar stock do remember if layout for holes on reverse lever was diffrent from drawing?
My understanding is that the large engines stop mid stroke when changing direction. Therefore they would be self starting. Just move the valve lever to center and the engine stops, then cut the main valve to shut the engine down.

Nice job on the steam engine. Would a full size engine be self starting?
