With reference to the two cars, the engines of which were condemned for piston knocks, on the 20th. inst., on dismantling, I find that the pistons which are knocking have more than the present maximum limit of clearance. I have yet, therefore, to find a "case". EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
