Assembling the Cans

Assembling the cans was definitely a challenge. When I pressed the top can into the bottom one, it created a pretty big rip in the bottom can. The pictures show how I used epoxy to really carefully fill the rip and keep the seal between the top and bottom cans. I had to be SUPER careful, because if any of the epoxy leaked into the bottom can and got on the displacer, it would inhibit the displacer's movement and my engine wouldn't work. Thankfully after the epoxy had dried, my displacer still had a full range of movement and the rip was completely sealed.
