Peter I must say I find it difficult to understand how the valves get damaged, but it does seem a strange co-incidence that the tolerances on the tappets were changed apparently to avoid a problem. It would be great if a technical note or addendum to the manual could be found.
For those that want to follow this further if you are coming down the M5 past Jct 7 Croome Hall the National Trust Property use to be part of RAF Defford and on site there is museum devoted to the work at Defford including Halifax V 9977. It seems the museum is now available with limited hours 11.00-14.00 after a long closure.
