The valves had lost .001" to .002" tappet clearance and the exhaust valve of No I cylinder had only .003" clearance indicating a loss of .005". All were re-set at .008".

DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design}

We would like to urge the design scheme of coiled bijur pipes for feeding the front suspension. This involves a modification to the housings for the spherical bearings at the rear end of the torque arms.
