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. | ||
