Re: High Compression cylinder heads on Bentley chassis. --------------------------- Further to D/BP4/OG11-4-35 in which we refer to our instructions to fit a high compression cylinder head on chassis B-131-DK, will you please note we are now instructed to fit high compression cylinder heads on B-54-EF and B-38-EF - both for export to France, and we are advised that the high compression head has been standardised for use in special cases. Will you, therefore, let us know if we can accept these instructions in respect of the three chassis referred to. D/EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
