Re: La10 cooling

I have a 1936 LA10 with the 1444cc engine and it was not fitted with a waterpump or a thermostat. I have never had any overheating problems.
The engine was renovated six years ago and included block cleaned and the cylinder head rebuilt by Slinden Services. Regards frenchy

Re: Rocker Shaft (Daimler 15, 2166cc engine)

Hi Dave you will have to fit the cylinder head first as the rocker shaft locates on the studs. Assemble the shaft and put two short bolts in both end rocker posts so that will stay in place, ensure that all other posts are in the correct position.

Your assumption is correct. The recesses are either side of the shaft. They are location for the head studs. The ones on the ends will be on the off side ie manifold side.
