STANDARD BENTLEY SINGLE CYLINDER HEAD. A design has been prepared for a Bentley single cylinder head to give a compression ratio of 9/1. This involves major alterations to the pattern. Before this is instructed will you please order two castings off the existing pattern in order that we may have spare heads available of the standard type in case they are needed. No machining need be done until such a need arises. -------------------- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} | ||
