We sent by post the two halves of No six connecting rod bearing along with the shims. We enclose a sketch showing how the metal had seized on to the crank pin. This has been successfully removed with no damage to the pin. An oil test shows all remaining bearings to be satisfactory. Examination of number 7 main shows slight groove otherwise good. ---------- [Signature] G.W.H. | ||
