Steam engine piston rebuild

New pistons for an old engine.

Back to all our work

The job

A steam engine came in with worn pistons and no drawings. Parts for it have not been made for a very long time.

What we did

We measured the old pistons and the cylinders, drew up new ones, and machined them to fit this engine.

We fitted them with the owner in the workshop so he could see the result for himself.

How it ended up

The engine runs again. Placeholder story: the real one comes from the client.
