| To Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH. from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Aluminium 8 cyl Engine. When you send the instructions through for the completion of the 8 cylinder aluminium cylinder block, will you please instruct with it a camshaft having cam forms suitable for hydraulic tappets. I believe such a camshaft has been detailed for a 6 cylinder engine but not for an 8. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
