What is this all about?
Finding weird things in engines always amazes me. Not sure what this is all about but it was a fix for a problem of some sort. Wonder if it worked.

I may be mistaken, but looks like something to redirect oil flow.

Re: What is this all about?
How does the front main, the front cam journal and the timing gear get lubricated with the oil rerouted like this?

Re: What is this all about?
Isn't the oil going to flow over the dam at the same level with or without the added pipe?

Re: What is this all about?
It kinda looks like someone had an accessory oil filter installed......but later took it out and left the feed pipe..
They when through some trouble to drill the casting for that bolt! http://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A6705F.html

Re: What is this all about?
It also looks like someone might have installed rotators on the exhaust valves.
Either that or they found some mighty thick caps for the springs. |

Re: What is this all about?
As noted, are you running an oil filter?

Re: What is this all about?
There never was an oil filter installed on the engine.
I poured the mains 14 years ago but the rest was put together by someone else. I have no idea what the problem was that required this solution. I haven't taken it totally apart yet. I am curious about the front main. That area looks dry. The rotators will be gone. |

But with so many posts about the valves sticking it could be a good idea. I've been thinking about the one piece(solid) guides and after installing them, putting K-line "liners", that are Brass or Bronze(can't remember which) in them. They are an excellent product and I've used them for years..with NO problems.. |
