Have you tried Resin from the Archery shop used to hold the nock onto the end of an arrow shaft. It works very well for me. Also requires heat to hold and release. Donald C Doerner CET
This is a nice little engine built of Brass and Aluminum. I had some difficulty in getting the D valve working in order to get things moving. Made some minor adjustments and the engine runs fine on a small amount of compressed air. It would also run on steam.
