Lying on top of the rocker arms is a "pad" running the full length of the assembly. Is this normal? The engine was running fine. Should I leave this in or replace it? Where can I find anew one.?
Thanks,

My understanding is that they used an actual pad with the old four cylinder engine that ended in 1928. I have heard people mention about putting one on one of these sixes so I am wondering if some actually did so. The earlier pads were used to keep the shaft oiled.
