Thanks Alan! After this video I discovered there is a imperfection in the piston at the bottom, just above the piston rod's collar (you can just see it 01:18 ). Likely a defect from the factory, which allows steam to expel in the wrong place. I have NOS spares but they are unpainted. I used one of them and it did preform better but not by a lot.
Nice job Richard 👍👍👍
