Crankcase & Bearings - Section 5000.

The above details have been modified under our alteration 19976/E. Existing castings for the 2nd. engine can be machined to this alteration but the pattern should be altered as soon as possible.

Crankshaft EB.4144 altered under alteration 19982/E, must be used in conjunction with this crankcase modification.
