Hancock - Head Chateauroux}4/MJ.2.3.34. Re. Chassis 1-GW. Gliksten Esq. We have fitted six new exhaust valve guides to the cylinder head. These guides have been made from E.3539 drawing and Ex.13643 incorporates the modifications. The cylinder head guides have been rebored to suit the new valve guides. We have also fitted six new exhaust valves E.82486. We could not fit the present type as the stem length is wrong. The inlet valves have been re-ground in and new packings fitted to all valves.
