[Healeys] Steel ball??

[Rich C]

Hello all,

Once I waded through all the inevitable comments about balls, (some were 
hilarious) and sifted out some good answers from some learned people, I have 
come to the conclusion that this mysterious steel ball is not part of this 
engine.

Thanks to all for their answers, opinions, comments, and humour.
