We suggest that you grind six to your No.10 cam form and six to your No.8 cam form. Attached is sketch of the proposed dimensions measured at the major axis, the ring lands should of course be finished to the dimensions you have previously used for your pistons. Enclosed with the pistons are the six gudgeon pins which we failed to return to you with the set of cracked lightweight pistons. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
