My Stuart Turner 10V rebuild

 My Stuart 10V rebuild. Part #1
Engine description:- 

Stuart 10V Fully Machined Kit
Specifications:
Height: 6 Inches.
Flywheel Dia.: 3 Inches Diameter.
Bore: 3/4 Inch.
Stroke: 3/4 Inch.
Stuart Models web site 10V details 




Background info:-
I bought this back in 1986 for about £90.00 as a fully machined kit from Stuart Turner to be finished by hand tools.
I built the engine up and ran it under steam a couple of time, since then it has been on my book case collecting dust.

This is my Stuart 10v with reversing gear fitted, drain cocks and pipe work mounted on a oak base.


The work which I have just carried out on this engine  has been to strip it completely down, then I  re-painted the engine (the green is slightly darker than the photo shows ),I  then clean and polish all the parts before reassembling the engine.



Future planned work ( part 2):-
To add oil cups to the main bearing, lag the cylinder in wood, change the configuration of the pipe work adding into it a steam stop valve and also pipe work to the cylinder drain cocks.
