(5) A scheme is necessary to connect up the oil cooler and filter and there are no external oil pipe connections on this engine. (6) There will be no clutch case or gear box, therefore the drive to the dynamometer will have to be taken from the flywheel which will be fitted with a clutch to give the correct inertia but with the centre plate removed. In this way it will be possible to house an adaptor coupling direct on to the crankshaft flange bolts and fitted during the engine assembly. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H.
