Anyone else seen this?  Mine seem to be leaking by on one event.  I
haven't determined which one it is yet but it's definately annoying.  I
get good power for about half a rev then nothing as the steam goes through
the stack and right wanna-be-a-gland.  I origionally thought the power
loss was all due to the leaking cyl cover, then thought it was a split
o-ring (we're talking a lot of steam through the stack) but inspection of
the piston/bores show no issues.  I've pulled the valves out and they are
ok so the only thing I can think of is that something has scored the
valve-block bore.

Anyone happen to know what these run?  Is now a good time to start on that
Walschaerts geared slide-valve conversion I've been thinking about?
