    Hello Tedly. Sorry I have not replied sooner, I have not had a working computer for a few weeks. I have had a look in the dark box and have a new rocker cover for a C8. I am having withdrawal symptoms as I have not been near any good sounding engines lately. Hope you are well Regards John.

    When you drill a hole while working on aircraft, you then put a reamer through the hole to smooth it through the material to inhibit cracking. Hence parallel reamers. That is my understanding anyway.

    Going from memory firing order for 6 cylinder engine either 153624 or 142635 some manufactures ie RR and Jaguar start no1 Flywheel end, others no1 crankshaft drive damper- pulley end. Daimler diesels had timing gears at the Flywheel end of the crankshaft.

    Very similar the ones I used, they were like a large dynamo clamp. If yours are a cast ring they will be an easy tack otherwise you will need an mixed metal rod. A quick fix.

    When I used to put metal rings around the brake drums, Years ago. It was to stop brake squeal, Interrupt the surface vibration of the drum. They were usually secured with a crimp bolt.

    They - Establishment Museums are slowly turning into corporate hospitality venues. I hope and believe there is still a place for the individuals with a vision to make their dreams come to fruition and prosper as well.

    When the projectile leaves the barrel that is the end of the beginning, History is then written with a hit or depending on the closeness of the miss the end. It is very clinical and only part of the story counting symbols. It is the way history is written though.

    Richard Atlas in Sheffield may have some parts. When I was in his yard he had a Mki chassis and cab and the recovery crane off a Mk3 . He runs an Atlas dealership.

    There used to be a Russian tank outside of the grain plant at Belford. It came off the low loader when they were delivering it. There is a Bedford RL recovery truck in a scrapyard at Wooler. It is not there now.

    Sorry I do not know. I am going from memory I think they were diesel 330s. I think the concept was use one when running empty and both when loaded.
