Bonjour Mike....

....would you have a nice picture of the valve cover on the original 216..... from that book of yours????

I have these engines yet to be identified that maybe 216 or bigger..... the valve covers are mounted by 2 central studs/nuts combination ...
BUT.. they have these tiny slits about 1/8 of an inch high by 1 inch wide...and about four of them. Some kind of opening that probably replaces the breather caps of later Chev 6...... It does not seem to be a good way to protect the innards of an engine but in 1940 ???

Eventually I will get down to scrapping the cooked grease deposit and find serial numbers and casting numbers for David H.

Your help is appreciated.
