One for the likes of Lee and no doubt Mr Faulks...

Quite interesting that it mentions PRVs and the wet liner construction.
I'm just here for the gasoline.

Thanks Darren, yes good ref, read it before some time back. There is a good series of KS articles.

The PRV block is a very nice casting, lots of changes in them over the years too. I've got on with much thicker web features than normal, blown oil pump housing unfortunately, but interesting that this was done.. only seen the one, possibly the one I got from Andyh877? Be interesting to know the origin... certainly one of the 24V engines I had, but the others weren't upgraded like this.. Anyone know?
... A diamond is only a piece of coal that did well under pressure... PRV afflicted, may be I need to squeeze harder!!!!
