"... replace the wood parts with aluminum ones."
"... check out the totally awesome animation by the guys over at www.animatedengines.com ... I should note that this animation is of a "double acting" engine, in that is has ports on both the bottom and the top of the cylinder where mine is a "single acting" engine with ports just on the top. This just means that the engine relies more heavily on the momentum of the flywheel to keep it running but is a lot simpler to build."

"... try to find an engine with good compression. I later found out that with bad rings the engine would run fine but the steam would slip past the rings and condense in the crankcase and push the oil out."
"A boiler is a bomb in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they are doing. A boiler is constantly moving even if it's standing still. Every time the pressure rises the temperature rises and the metal expands, and when the pressure drops, temperature drops, and the metal shrinks just as if the boiler metal was being bent back and forth to a very small degree.
Boilerplate is a very soft high grade of steel. Good boilerplate up to 3/4-inch thick can be hammered over on itself without showing any signs of cracking or stress. ... The harder the steel, the sooner it'll happen. That's why boilers should only be made of boilerplate. Also all A.S.M.E. boilers are stress relieved after being welded by placing them in an oven for several hours to relieve the stress of the welds."
