There's not really enough metal to take out to the next size up, so it's either a case of making slightly oversized valves, or helicoiling the bushes back to the original size - either solution requiring more by way of time rather than expense. We would warranty the boiler as sound, capable of passing test once the work has been done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Overall a nicely made engine, it would be worth some work to bring it up to scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020161339733,"sku":"11525","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/11525-1.webp?v=1779911569","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-william-2-6-2t-stock-code-11525","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
