I have a Palmer Q with a salt water crack in the cylinder, so I am looking for a replacement. Any and all leads appreciated very much. Thank you, Dick

Looks damn good compared to most of them, clean out the jackets, weld up and enjoy. Plenty of posts here on that kind of work. Is there a tag on the engine?

You are right, it is a good looking engine and it should be cleaned and fixed - if reasonable. I had hoped a replacement cylinder could be found to make things easier, but if not, we will go a different route. Thank you.

If that cracking is from salt poisoning the only solution to solve the problem is to raise the temp under controlled heating prior to any welding or brazing. All you will do is aggravate the problem. About 1916 Palmer went to a three bolt mounting flange water pump. The cylinder mounting flange appears to be a two bolt flange to which someone added the third mounting stud and used a three bolt pump. My recommendation is to send the cylinder to George Coates and ask them to use their skills in driving salt out of cast iron and otherwise your problems will only get worse in my opinion.
The last two digits of the serial number are the year the engine was made if it is the original serial number tag. The engine is a nice looking engine and should restore to a good working engine but the salt problem has to be dealt with and no acid, chemical or liquid will get rid of the salt.
