i wonder why chevrolet would let the rocker arm's be open and get dirty?
whereas ford and other's had them enclosed and away from dirt.

@organfandan Ehm... The "W" stands for "winter" and designates the viscosity of the oil in cold condition.. SAE30 would be a single grade motor oil.

Right before watching this video I watched one with a helicopter. Strangely, it's got exactly the same sound.

I wonder if anyone has ever made a retrofit valve cover for these things.

So that's an overhead valve engine? in 1919?

@pismo10
Yes, this design based on the Mason engine of the Little and Whiting automobiles and used in Chevrolet since the early 'teens.

that is so cool...do you use a non-detergent oil, conventional oil, or synthetic to oil the valve train.

I have a booklet, "Instructions for the Operation and care of Chevrolet Motor Cars Four Ninety and Superior Models", it specifies light cylinder oil to lubricate the rocker arms and pushrod felts. I use regular 30 weight motor oil. Dan

I guess that its gonna bee quite messy in
the enginecompartment after a while, with all the oil splashing around.
Or?
Nice engine by the way.

Thanks. Top engine parts are hand oiled only, so not too messy, although in the old days I imagine dust from the dirt roads would collect on everything!
