By the way, what is that in the boiler flange, just under the safety valve bush, I hate to say it, but is it a stress crack?


It certainly looks like a crack. There's no sign of a steam leak under pressure thank goodness (and I've had it blowing off at the safety valve). The s/v insert has been quite heavily soldered at some time and there are signs of further stress all around it. The longitudinal stay seems intact, which is something else that's positive!

It's old, like me, and getting a bit worn, like me, so I'll just have to take good care of it, like I wish someone would of me!
