Must have been a tight fit - shoulda used a bigger box.
If the crank case breather isn't big enough,,and I don't think a 1/8th hole is,,the piston when rising can create a vacuum and suck steam/water into the crank case, the piston need to breath, it displaces air when rising and dropping.
The displaced air will be pulsing out and in, you could put a hole in the cover plate and epoxy a copper 90 deg. fitting and add a length of tubing with a open cell filter at the end, the copper would keep the steam engine look and let the engine breath,,,just a thought.
