B-60 - CYLINDER BLOCK. There are pockets for steam under the Top Plate which I think should be vented. They are on the other side to the valve chest and occur between the stud bosses. The corners are not quite as bad, but might be improved at the same time. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/G.Mc. | ||
