Rolls Royce V12 27 Litre Tank Engine Valve timing
So it’s finally time to workout why the Centurion ARVE engine didn’t run so well.
A rolls Royce 27l v12 meteor will happily drink a gallon of fuel every 55 seconds! When working hard.
In the tank that’s up to 15 gallons to the mile of road!
2 Gpm on road.
Our symptoms were popping and banging from b bank when under load but only from exhaust, nothing back through inlet and idled like a brand new engine! Would you have guessed it right?

    For those that don't know or notice that RR don't use gaskets and rely on the precision of the mating surfaces to seal. A smear of Hylomar is used to stop oil weeping.

    The cylinder numbering on Aero Engines by convention runs from the propeller end - so number 1 nearest the prop and because the Meteor is derived from an Aero engine that's why it is like it is. Fun fact - Jaguar XK engines are also numbered the Aero engine way (number 1 on an XK is at the clutch end) because at the time, Jaguar had pretentions. :-)
