schuyler Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 On my 63 Avanti (63R2318 - RTS1582) engine there is a oval plate mounted to the front of the "lifter valley" with 2 bolts. What is the purpose of this plate? Are the 2 bolts held in place by threads in the block. I want to remove this plate, clean and paint it. Thanks for your knowledge.
fred88 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 The block is essentially the same since 1950s when it was a 224, 232, 259, when the oil fill pipe was bolted on there, a pipe sticking straight up and a cap on it. Just a cover plate, small gasket underneath it and a hole.
