PN{Mr Northey}'S TRIALS CAR - 46-PK.
I am not sure whether you are aware that there is a universal joint inside the clutch on the EAC. engine which is lubricated through a hole in the engine coupling shaft. It will be necessary to be sure that you do not over-oil this or the oil is likely to get into the clutch. We should recommend that you give this about 1/8 of a syringeful every 1000 miles.
