Problems with my 'Doris' 3.5" gauge 'Black Five, Steam is leaking between the outside of the liner and cylinder bore it is press fitted into, and is shortcutting from the inlet port to the exhaust, any ideas how I can stop this or do I need to rebore the cylinder and fit a larger diameter liner for the piston valve. John.

Hello John,
Twenty years ago I had this problem with my Fowler T/E.I removed the liner cleaned it up put some suitable locktite on parts and pushed the liner back in. I also ran some locktite into the ports as belt and braces,it worked and is still running.Liner and cylinder are cast iron, I forget which locktite I used but a temperature tolerable one ought to be used.
Bye Albert
