| ( 2 ) The valves had lost .001" to .002" tappet clearance and the exhaust valve of No I cylinder had only .003" clearance indicating a loss of .005". All were re-set at .008". DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} We would like to urge the design scheme of coiled bijur pipes for feeding the front suspension. This involves a modification to the housings for the spherical bearings at the rear end of the torque arms. --------- Ivan M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Wallis.
