Subject: Meadows Engine Help

---

Forgive me if I've posted in the wrong area.

I'm not a Lagonda owner, unfortunately, but I am rebuilding a Meadows engine to go into a Tank I'm restoring for the Tank Museum, Bovington.

Im trying to hunt down a manual for the 6 cylinder ESTE engine fitted to the Vickers MkIV Light Tank. It has the large flat sump, with a Simms magneto ignition system running one set of plugs, and a single Solex up draught carburettor. Im happy to share some photos if anyone is interested? Or you can follow my Facebook page, via my website which has a weekly blog.

I specifically need:

piston skirt to cylinder wall clearance
timing information for both ignition and camshaft
crankshaft main and big end bearing clearances
camshaft bearing clearances
valve clearances

Ideally I'm after a manual that I can purchase which contains this information.

Im also struggling to find a full set of piston rings.

Can anyone help?
