They are 1 1/4 O.D. with a 3/8 hole and there are 5/16 thick with the Chevy bowtie stamp on them. Iam going to use them for washer on top of my 216 stubs that hold down the valve cover. I have no idea where I got them.
Anybody know what they were for ? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | No idea. 5/16" thick is mighty thick for a washer. I'm betting they're a spacer of some kind. If you don't get an answer to your query here you might try over at the VCCA site.

After cleaning everything up, discovered the bowtie on the washer. Now I am trying to remember how it all goes back together. Replacing the 216 with a '60 235 and S-10 5 speed. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,611 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,611 | I found the same bowtie marked washers on an unmolested 1942 1 1/2 ton truck. They were used on the lower 2 bolts of the front motor mount. The only markings I ever recovered. | | |
