OK. I think that makes sense. I can tend to over think stuff. Thanks. This has been my first real project in my shop. I have lots of mistakes. I should have an open account at Stuart for replacement parts. I have learned a lot and used what I learned to start work on a Kozo Shay. After...

This is a very basic question. I have been puttering along on a 10V. My main focus is a Kozo Shay. I dig into the 10V when I hit a snag on the Shay. So the 10V comes along bit-by-bit. My question....Where does the exhaust steam go? As I tinker with the parts I can't see how the exhaust...
