@@jenningsmotorsports7554 slightly more than a few ton, fun fact though the Olympic class liners were the most efficient steam liners for their size, using only 800 tons avg per day of coal at full ahead. The startup sequence, using only boiler room number 1, would take up to 2 - 3 days to build up steam to start the dynos and preheat all the cylinders in the 4 cylinder triple expansion steam engines, to operating temperature. *This part is critical as any steam engine CANNOT be rolled over while cold due to difference in clearance when cold. Cylinders must be properly preheated to allow for proper expansion for startup sequence.* There are probably alot more steps but essentially once everything is warm, and your a day away from departure, you'd then have to fire up the rest of your boiler rooms, "There were 6 in total" to generate the steam necessary to actually roll over the engine. Once that is done and your hours away from departure you'd then warm up whats called the "Brown's hydraulic engine" These engines where used for a few things in the engine room such as changing over the massive changeover valves that vented exhaust steam to the central "Parson's low pressure turbine" which drove the central prop, to vent directly to the condensers. In this instance in would sit by the flywheel and function as a starting engine. Here there are a few steps missing but essentially once the command comes down from the bridge for either dead slow or slow ahead, they would engage the "Browns hydraulic engine and would get the massive engines to slowly spin over, once the engine is spinning theres a pressure valve they would open in the HP or high pressure cylinder and they would slowing begin to introduce steam into the cylinder. *There are 2 low pressure, one mid and one high, during normal operation steam is introduced into the HP cylinder @215 PSI, is then vented into the intermediate pressure cylinder @ 78 psi, then the 2 LPP cylinders @ 30 psi before being exhausted to the LP turbine or the condensers @ 9 PSI Absolute.* Once enough steam is introduced they close the compression valves on all the cylinders and disengage the browns engine. Your 4 cylinder Triple expansion steam engine is now running at slow ahead. It is important to note that there is no throttle on these things, and depending on speed may only be operating on one cylinder while steam is bypassed and compression valves opened on the remaining cylinders.

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Jennings, no one else brings the kind of expertise to a "will it run" video like you do. Here we go! Looking at the Exhaust manifold arrangement, I wonder what they were from. They look like upside down from opposite sides with flanges on each in the front. (I did something like that back in the 60's when I put a 318 Poly Hemi in where a Slant Six used to be. Got some flex tube from J.C. Whitney to make the connections.) And let's not skip right over the fan belt adjustment. What, 7/16" bolts on a massive cast iron slider? And that's only the fan!. Yep, I concur, Starting fluid does start low compression quicker . There's always time to switch over to gasoline after it revs up a couple times and things start working better. OK, the old "Green Stick in the Vacuum Line" trick. Well done Jennings. You got'er running. Now fill'er up with oil all the way to the top of the rocker covers. Fill the intake and each cylinder thru the sparkplug holes for storage. Great going! Fun to watch. ben/ micigan

It was about in the same shape too lol

[@photoshopman1972]

Ah yes an Y block! Got through getting one going for my neighbors. You definitely have some money sitting right there. Not necessarily for the engine unless it was the special that Ford had but that teapot carb and intake is worth a bit as well as those valve covers. My neighbors were actually looking for a teapot setup once upon a time. The ticking might get eliminated if you adjust the valves some. Theirs ticks when the valves are out. It might have some bad blow by but check to see if the road draft tube might be blocked. If it is, that can cause the engine to build positive crank case pressure.

[@general23cmp]

Need expert thoughts, although the head is probably coming off regardless. I’ve been working on a 230 flathead (not original) in my 1940 Plymouth truck. All 6 cylinders had ok compression (within 5psi of 90psi on all). Bottle fed it a few seconds after getting the coil and points right, and it idled well as long as I fed it. Sounded great. No smoke. Checked the radiator for leaks and filled it up so I could actually get it to warm up. Good for 20 seconds or so (didn’t really get warm yet) and then a decent amount of smoke started. To me, it appears white, so I thought head gasket or maybe even a crack. So far, oil and water both look good. Took spark plugs out and have no compression on #1. The rest are still around 90psi. So, here’s what I did that has me questioning whether I have a stuck valve instead. With all the plugs out, I put it on TDC (if my dot is correct) and blew air into the #1 hole thinking I might get bubbling in my radiator. The #2 hole puffed air. I then rotated it 360 and did the same thing. #3 puffed air. So I almost feel I have a valve not closing on #1 as one of those cycles should’ve had both valves closed and no other path available for air to go. I’d guess intake valve as the air would puff less if it had the exhaust pipe as an outlet. I also bumped the started remotely and was able to get every hole to puff as I put air into #1. The thing that has me questioning the valve theory, is the smoke. Can a stuck valve produce a lot of smoke? Guesses? Suggestions before I take the head off? I’d like to avoid taking the head off as I worry about head bolts breaking, especially if it isn’t necessary. Thanks.

with the crossover single exhaust that Y block is probably a 272 or a 292 out of 1955-1964 Ford/Merc car or truck. Someone likely put the TBird valve covers on it to dress it up a little. 55-57 TBird 292 or 312 would have had dual exhaust and a 4 barrel carb I believe. the best way to tell 272/292 from 312 is 312 have an aspirin sized bump on the rear crank flange. enjoyed the video thanks
