[@nickgratton5341]

I sat there watching you tap the pistons saying use your back wind ..and then i thought does he have a back wind …🤷‍♂️..love the videos 👍

Hi Julian....Great job, like you said one step closer to completing. I guess you are pleased to have a simpler step this time , rather than small fiddly bits. .Regards... Mike

we have just had our first rebore on our 1929 fowler dnb compound roller so we will have to have 2 new pistons and rings so this vid ( I haven't watched yet, I about to start now) should be really interesting

[@jammymowlam1]

Thank you, I hope you find it helpful, quite an easy job, thank you for watching when you have 😁👍🏻

[@EntraVenuS]

@@jammymowlam1 thanks for the kind reply ours is actually full size much the same process as yours but bigger

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing 👍 Will a locknut hold up to the heat and temperature?

[@jammymowlam1]

Thank you, I'm not sure about that, I shall have to do a bit of homework on that and find out, if not I will do as the drawing and lock it with solder, thank you for watching 👍🏻

[@MikeHarding-ro4oq]

I found lock tight retaining compound worked well on a piston and piston rod on a pride of penryhn I had. Cheers .... Mike

[@jammymowlam1]

Hi Mike, Yes , I have some lock tight I used before, and to get the thread undone I had to really heat the item up before it would come undone, thank you for watching 👍🏻

[@dave420g]

I used a plain nut (turned to the appropriate thickness) then once fitted and tightened, centre punch the thread in 3 places to stop it unscrewing. Has held solid for 7 years now.

[@jammymowlam1]

I vaguely remember I did that on another job. Thank you for reminding me, and I will probably go with that 👍🏻 Thank you for watching 👍🏻
