| contd:- -2- These results seem to indicate that the path for the heat flow from the head to the valve seat is inadequate. E.A.C. VALVE SPRINGS. We have had three cases of breakage. In each case the failure - which appeared purely torsional and not due to flaw - took place at the second coil from the bottom. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/ACL, | ||
