Default Re: Strange stuff inside engine??????

The upper spring was a system used in the 60's, and maybe earlier, on flathead V8's as an oil seal when not replacing guides. They were used inside the main spring and cupped a seal against the bottom of the V8 guide. The actual seal material was a graphite like collar.
