Re 2GHP. Valves.

Reference: EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}6/H5.11.28.

The amount which Gaskets collapse is variable: In a lot of cases they do not appear to go any appreciable extent after the first road test.

Is not the right thing to get the Gasket Makers to make them all alike ?
