Pressure of oil 60550 - set pump + suction pipes good. No fibres in liners but good fit. Engine new pressure set 10 lbs did not vary between 10 + 12 lbs at any speed. Sman well oil hot or cold. Dragged rather at 5 lbs until accelerated when it stuck at 10. 60553 ".012" liners in all bearings. Pressure when oil was cold varied during ordinary running conditions when hot settled to 5 (accel to 8) + could not be increased. 2 1/2 pints loose oil about. see (Record quantity of oil) (found pump fixed on wrong way) | ||
