| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/KW.24.1.34: Clutch Slip. We have discovered on the bed and Ferodo's agree, that the time one heats a lining to 400° F, it drops to about .1 and doesn't rise again till cooked to 600°F.{Mr Friese} This may solve some of the mystery. I hope you are having a good time, and that your cable for valve springs doesn't mean all 12 have broken. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.Grylle: | ||
