Cylinder Head Coolant Jets.

We send you herewith:-

LeC.5664 showing coolant jets arranged for the Wraith III cylinder head.

The object of the nozzle is to carry a jet of cooling water as near as possible to the exhaust valve seats.

There are three nozzles, they are arranged between cylinders 1 and 2, between 3 and 4, and between 5 and 6.

Before these are instructed for fitting to Wraith III we suggest an experiment be made to assess the value of the jets by trying them on a 25/30 or Bentley engine.

E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}

LeC.5664 herewith.
