Hi all,
Just thought you would like to see the results of some cleaning. As advised i fired it up and after burning my fingers a few times it worked a treat plus the bandages are great for polishing.
I removed nearly all the crud and no pin hole - yippee
Actually found it quite rewarding but wouldnt be wanting to do it every day

That polished up quite nicely, Real good looking engine.
I polished my SE1A but then I have used it a few times since so much for the polish. I guess I will buff it up every tewo or three months or so.

Well done, proves the point that engines should get as much attention post running.

Just had another boiler sent it the post full of that scale and english water!

Nice job, I think the Se3's are a great engine, lots of power, which can be controlled through the regulator. Probably my favourite engine nxt to the SE4.

Cheers

Chris
