Here Matt, Gorden, and I are pressing in the cyclinder and valve chest liners.
I used the arbor press at the Deerfield & Roundabout railway as it was the only press big enough to hold the cyclinders.
I purchased 10lbs of dry ice to cool down the liners. I left the cyclinder casting at room temperatrure. The 'lubricant' I used was White Lead at the suggestion of Gordon Carlson. This profides a lubracant during the pressing process and makes a bond with the liner and cyclinder casting.
