When writing technical or scientific detail, how much is plausible?

Right.

I am aware of how plausible or not the science is in my SF, and purposefully don't explain, and gloss over, parts that I can't make plausible enough to myself.

But I still include too much science.

e.g. in The Source of Fire, the steam ship Great Application of a Terrible Idea is powered by what's basically a nuclear reactor, and the kenner of the ship explains it.
