jim fl4 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi All, Anyone with their suggestions where I can buy a set of standard rings for a B60 engine and also the inlet valve packing/seals..the original look more like asbestos string! Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim I second what Clive said. They have practically everything for the RR B range engines. I have recently rebuilt a B61 and got everything from them. Those seals are made up of what looks like asbestos string, but compressed, over time they tend to fall apart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim fl4 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thank you Clive and Richard for your replies. Richard, with your B61 rebuild did you use the original packing for the inlet valves, (if its still available) or did you use a more modern seal? Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, Used new original manufacture packings. They will be OK, but make sure there is no wear in valve guides. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 No, a commercial version. Just wondered Richard as the only in-service reference to B61 I have seen is in an RAF parts book exclusive to B61. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive, I reckon a B61 in a Humber would give it a bit of punch ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
