Nothing worth taking pictures of, couldn't focus that close anyway. OK. What's the proper name of them? The caps on top of the valve spring keepers? Anyway, this thing must have made alot of tappet noise for a long time, the cap on #7 must have come off, so that cylinder had to have a huge skip... then the cap fell into the lifter channel, you could see it half way down in there. That must be what siezed the engine, cause now it turns over just fine. So once I got the push rod up, the thing fell further down in there. Agh, I want to tear it all down anyway, check out the rest and install a basic kit while it is appart this far.
