| Slipper drive is effective as a cure of crank rattles with the least possible set on the stop is effective up to nearly tight. But has other troubles in tightening up. If slack or easy - coron. rattles poor - otherwise N.G. If it is tightened - coron rattles get less but lusty engine starts at periods (all over) - cannot cure both. - more coron. rattles higher, & less if tightened up. In external slipper work lusty - & knock. was than internal - the knock (when tight) can be cured by oiling fibres. RP 12/10/11 | ||
