dc.description	The object of this test was to determine the reliability and durability under full throttle conditions, of a Liberty "12" aviation engine, fitted with various special materials and accessories. Sprayed Babbitt bearings, Agrilite bearings, Kelmet bearings, sprayed valves, sprayed pistons and camshaft housing vents did not complete the test successfully and can not be recommended. The Genelite bushing, the Durex bushing, stub-tooth gears, water pump, Stryker cleaner and jump-gap distributor head completed the test successfully and should be tested further.	en_US
