TVR1BB Engine build

(1/6) > >>

Captain fizz:
Hi all,
I am currently building up this engine.
The instruction manual makes no mention of using thread lock on any of the screws.
What do the panel think?

SteamboatPhil:
My personal opinion is no, you don't really need it as long as everything is nice and tight. I have never used it on any of my high speed steam engines and have never had any problems.  :-))

Captain fizz:
Thanks for the prompt reply Phil.
I shall use no Loctite...I guess the running in period will throw up any problems anyway.

Captain fizz:
Any advice/recomendations on a suitable vertical boiler?

Mark T:
Pendle boiler all the way for me. A great product and first class after sales too.


As for the engine I agree that you don’t need to use Loctite as I haven’t on mine and so far it’s fine
