| -5- GENERAL Our chief immediate trouble is an oil leak from the engine into the clutch pit. All the obvious things have been tried without success, but investigations are being continued to the exclusion of other tests. In normal form, the pressure on the clutch side of the oil retainer is .1" H2O and the same on the crankcase side. A depression in the crankcase of .9" H2O was obtained by connecting the rocker cover to the breather, without any effect on the oil leak. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H.
