Default glow to steam conversion?

you read it right im going to convert an os .18 to steam.
i know it wont be usable for anything, much than a working
model but i have a couple of these lying around and saw
a weed eater on the net converted to steam.

anyway i need someone who knows anything about the timing
of this motor and what i might need to block off to get it going.
it should work, i have released the crankcase pressure and am
working on a flywheel.

if anyone has any knowledge of steam or has done something similar
i would like to hear from you. i had the parts sitting here and am fascinated
with having a motor run on steam. maybe im a nutter? lol.

comments welcomed.
cheers.
