| To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Aluminium 8 cyl Engine. When you send the instructions through for the completion of the 8 cylinder aluminium cylinder block, will you please instruct with it a camshaft having cam forms suitable for hydraulic tappets. I believe such a camshaft has been detailed for a 6 cylinder engine but not for an 8. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
