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.
