Title: Oil system
Post by: Radzziu on March 03, 2024, 01:43:21 PM
Hi
Just starting engine after full rebuild Model 9 1936 newer hearing it before
Looks like to much oil is pumping to valve guides and leaking over head
Is any adjustment for oil flow?
Thanks for help and sorry for bad English
Greetings from Scotland

In the rocker box of my Model 9 from 1937 I have an adjustment option for the inlet valve (some engines also have this for the exhaust valve). Do you have that too?

The tube is just plugged into the respective hole in the head without any gasket. As I said, there is only one connection to the inlet valve in my head. The other one is dead.
