What, only the airfare to OZ Or is the air fare on top of the per engine fee. Most generous, I think not,  _________________

thanks

Hi -- Thank you all for your words of encouragement and your advice as well. We took the engine apart to clean the burner.
We have fired it since the clean up and so the burner is not as glossy now --- she runs really well. Cheers J-G _________________

Hi Steamyman we didnt tak anything off the boiler only the flywheel and piston and associated parts the frame stayed on
we used a dramil with a thin polishing disk to getin around the frame and chimney
