My novice build of the littlemachineshop oscillating engine continues
http://littlemachineshop.com/Projects/OscillatingEngine.php
piston brass , theres a copper gasket , all else aliminum
testing on compressed air, no long term plans for steam running
a pic all assembled:
Now in the testing stage
However air is escaping thru the copper gasket
Any suggestions please as to what the solution is? Ptfe tape any good ? Glue ? Replace the copper with a better material ?
