| contd :- -2- get between the eccentric and conn. rod if ample clearance is provided. Signs of tightness on these parts were noted on the first SS.{S. Smith} engine but no trouble was experienced after they had been rebuilt with slightly more clearance. We therefore suggest that the clearance be made between .002 and .003" and will watch the parts to see if sufficient lubrication is obtained. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.C.Lovesey. | ||
