| 23.11.32. (1) Ignition adv. required for max. power and 3% drop adv. on retard. (2) Do the flexible pistons tighten up with increasing oil temperature. (3) Do we still require long reach plugs for max. power on the turbulent head. (4) What is the "gain" in power due to running without a gearbox. Our results with this engine seem so good that we think we have gained something by reducing "Oil Churning". (5) We want to prepare to carry out heat flow to cooling water tests and water pump deliveries. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
