Seems to be more of a problem in Midgets than in spitfires,
perhaps a ventilation issue?
I heartily disagree with the notion that "the bottom ends were not
changed when the capacity was increased". Perhaps they didn't get
it right, but it's not like they stood idly by boring out cylinders
to larger and larger sizes without touching the bottom ends.
Simple evidence, how many parts are interchangeable between
engine sizes in the bottom end? Few.
