Wilesco D12 High Speed Run

The old Wilesco going pretty fast, this engines piston is pretty worn, there there is a lot of blow-by. You can see durring the video the port face of the cylinder lifting off the port block, that is because the trunnion spring (pivot point) has become weaker over time, and is acting like a spring saftey valve. Even thought this engine is worn, the insided of the boiler is spotless, no hard water build up at all, just brass. This engine is definetley my best no-fuss solid fuel engine, it is not tempermental whatsoever.
