Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} COPY. BY6/N16.10.37. 4¼ Litre Bentley - Pistons. -------------------------- It is most impostant that where it is necessary to fit new pistons, the same type should be used as originally fitted. This may mean carrying more stock of pistons but if for example an early 4¼ litre chassis was fitted with the latest type piston, i.e. with slightly increased dia. skirt, trouble may very easily occur due to lack of oil.
