Hey thanks imperfect. That means a lot coming from you.
So i got a 16 inch bicycle tube to use as gasket and got up to 13 psi and the gasket blew out where the bir is. Made a god awful scary high pitched noise so i shut her down. I missed a tiny little bir at the seal. Tomorrow when it's cool I'll clean it up and I'll get that bad boy running. I have no doubts. It got to 10psi within 10 min (though the water was already very very hot) This is gonna be awesome. You know, the whole build i was never scared. But I'll admit tonight that thing was a little intimidating. Excited for the morning. Night ya'll

Thanks mike. I'm sure it will go well. Anytime you build something, there's always some fine tuning involved

Hell yeah! So are you gonna get the metal on metal seal working or are you just going to use a gasket?

Definately, you always gotta dial in homemade items with a little fine tuning. I have complete faith that it will work perfect this time. That PC is beautiful!

Used a plate to make the top and machined it to fit the top of a 941aa. Used expandable metal for the shelves. I'll give her a test run tonight. Enjoy the pics.

 So when do I come pick it up?

No. It's a 9143.5 
Fired it up at 3:20 with a inner tube for a gasket. It's up to 10psi and rising. One tiny little spot bubbling out. On Monday I'll get a custom gasket made at the water jet place. I took the exhaust manifold bolts out and put carriage bolts in with nuts to lock them in place. Then put the lid on and used washers and wing nuts. Worked great.

Got it to 14psi and couldn't get it any higher. Held it there for 10 min at idle fuel. The little leak prevented it from climbing. I suppose a higher btu burner would have gotten it up, but I'm just gonna get a gasket made on Monday and that'll do the trick. Thanks for all your interest in this. It's been a fun project.

You should test it at at least 20psi just to make sure it's safe to let your guard down at 15. A proper gasket is much better than excessive heat. This is awesome though, nice project!
