[SEL] Fairbanks Morse 2HP "Z" 'dishpan f/w'

Thanks again Frances;

Thanks to YOU guys, the engine now runs.

Another question...What is the screw on the back of the piston (about the 
size of a dime)?  Is this for grease (wrist pin)?  what is is for?  I have 
not turned it  yet, so I don't know what it is....

Gerald
