Hall's Engine.

Confirming our conversation, will you please rebuild this engine with White Metal main bearings and Lead Bronze big ends.

Will you also please refit the R.{Sir Henry Royce} engine camshaft timed one tooth later than previously, i.e. 6° B.T.D.C.

If the new followers are ready we should like to have them fitted with this R.{Sir Henry Royce} engine shaft.
