Hello all,

I am restoring a vintage 5 hp Petter m type engine built in 1922, I have done an extensive overhaul including , new cyl liner, white metal main bearings, piston rings,reground crank,little end bearing etc,etc.

I have to make a new gudgeon pin, do you think a nice piece of silver steel would be OK, or should I use something like EN16, the diameter is 1",

I have a piece of silver steel that fits the piston perfectly, a nice push fit, and the last inch taps home nicely with a soft hammer, so it would be nice to use it if possible,

What do you all think ?

Richard.
