Well after waiting patiently in the pasture for a decade my 1929 22-36 has finally made it into the shop.
Being more familiar with Cases, I'll have a little learning to do on this one.
First question, What holds the vavle cover on? Mine had two studs (with grommets) that came up flush with the cover but no nuts and not enough stud protuding to get a nut on.
Second, There are two gizmos stickin up through the valve cover threaded onto hollow studs. I assume they are priming cups that connect to the intake ports. Is that what they are?
Third, Should there be a valve cover gasket? I'm guessing no, since the valve cover has no rim around it, just a sharp edge that would probably cut through any gasket.
Currently I'm just inspecting and planning for what it will take to make the ol' gal run again. When I drug it home to Texas from Iowa long ago it still had gobs of compression. Over the years it sat I put light oil in the cylinders and turned it over numerous times to make sure it didn't stick. Along the way it lost all it's compression. I assumed it stuck some valves open and after removing the valve cover that was confirmed. A few are stuck open, none seem to be stuck closed, no bent pushrods. Everything under the valve cover is suprisingly clean. I'm hoping just to free the sticky valves, restore the compression and not have to tear into the engine if possible.
