Engine Restoration

A broken original becomes the template for a replacement vaporiser cover.

Case study / 16

The project

A replacement vaporiser cover was produced for a 1924 Petter S type 12/14hp semi-diesel stationary engine.

Using the broken original, experienced moulders formed the missing area directly in the sand without carrying out pattern work. Careful fettling produced a sound representation of the original.

Project details are based on the published case record. The hero artwork is illustrative; original project photographs, where available, appear below.
