Valve Rods

Start with the valve gear for the right hand side.

Remove

Valve Rod Right Outer (187)

 and

Valve Rod Right Inner

(188)

 from the fret. With a small piece of wet and dry paper ease

out the large holes to 5.7 mm so that they revolve easily round
the brass eccentric plates (Drwg. 215).

Remove

Outer Rod End Strips (189,190)

 and

Outer Rod Spacer

(193)

 from the fret and using a 0.3 mm piece of brass wire locate

these parts as shown and solder up.

Remove

Inner Rod End Strips (195,196)

 and

Inner Rod Spacer

(199)

 from the fret and using a 0.3 mm piece of brass wire locate

these parts as shown and solder up.

Eccentric

Note

Since these parts are the ones that tend to get either lost in the
carpet or are difficult to solder together a rear tag with an extra
locating hole is provided for them.

For the eccentric itself (201,204) drill out the holes at each end to
0.6 mm. These will fit on to the Lifting Arms.

Remove the eccentric parts 201-212 from the fret, complete with
their extensions and use 0.3 mm wire to locate them and solder
together as shown in the diagram.

Clean up as much as possible and cut and file the rear of the
eccentric assembly to shape.

Lifting Arms

For Lifting Arms (213-216), Rotation Arms (217-220), Rotation
Arm End Spacers (221,224) drill out the smaller holes to 0.5 mm
and the larger holes in the bottom end of Lifting Arms (213-216)
to 0.7 mm. This is the end that is locked through the centre of
the eccentric.

Steam Chest Rods

Remove

Valve Rod Ends (226,227)

 from the fret and roll round a

piece of 1.6 mm brass rod on which the ends have been filed flat
over a length of 2 mm, drill through the locating holes and fix in
place by soldering. The flat should be such that the width of the
finished sub-assembly is no greater than 1.6 mm.

At this stage with a little judicious fettling it should be possible
(but only just) to slide this up and down the eccentric. It may be
easier to leave this in the fully up or fully down position since
they may never move when the engine is running.

Fit short lengths of 2.4 mm brass tubing (ideally this should be 4
mm long) into Valve Guide Support Spacer (19 or 19EM) and
using some 1.6 mm brass rod, align it through the Cylinder
Spacers (7,8) ensuring that the rod slides very easily.

Brass Plates

In Drwg. 215 Eccentric there are four plates which fit either side
of Valve Rod Outers (185,187) and Valve Rod Inners (186,188).
There is Eccentric Template (230) on the fret which can be used
