Re: How to deflect oil to adjust valves with roller rockers?

Seems like someone would have this pretty well figured out, given these engines having not really changed since 1954! LOL. I would like to have a valve cover that I can bolt in place and open up over pairs of valves and adjusting them one set at a time. Could be one or two covers, as I could shut down after adjusting 8, move to the other side of the engine then adjusting those 8. I will start cutting a valve cover tomorrow morning and see what I end up with. I have used a piece of cardboard before, about 8" tall, that covered the lower half of the head, and bent to go up each side. I just want something that won't make a mess. Need to buy a scrench (that's what we call them for chainsaws) that I can stick an Allen wrench through. I've seen clever tools before, it seems, that somehow connected the two tools. Need a 9/16" scrench, with a 3/16" allen.
