| -2- (8) Put in hand a larger bore inlet manifold. All up to item (6) can be tested first (open exhaust) (7) & (8) can be tried later. (9) Look into the limits of dimensions of cylinder block, con. rods, etc. to find why compn. ratios vary between 4.45 and 4.90. Compare with std. 20 H.P. (small bore) and Phantom. Item (8) can be tested when other things are ready by altering inlet flange on the Expl. copper manifold. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/ACL. | ||
