What gaskets if any

A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Thanks to you all for your help and advice, I have bought a tin of Never-Seez and will use it along with some good quality paper gasket material.

"Ever see a steamer wearing white?" Last Monday the weather was warm (rare here in late November) so we decided to go out on the lake. I left work early, with white pants on, they didn't stay white for long, and black steam cylinder oil will not come out, now the pants are to be used only around the workshop. But the steamboat ride was very nice, the lake dead calm, no other boats around, the only sounds were the wisps of exhaust steam, the sound of the fire, and the paddle floats dipping into the water.
