I did notice this, but we have still got about 7 full griffons some of which are seized which we intend to nick cams and rockers off. The problem is, we dont know what the other engines are like. we may need to put three new engines on the wing 🙁

Without the rest of the mechanism, it isnt that much use. The problem is that the pads on the fingers wear, and this casues the cam to wear. So when you are changing the cam, you need a complete cam rack mechanism (CRM).

What again he couldn’t sell it last time.

Might be worth the Coventry boys putting in a ‘sensible’ offer then.
