I buttoned up the front end on the SH engine rebuild today. I tripled checked everything (I thought) before installing the heavy cast iron cover. I discovered that I forgot the protective screen for the oil fill. It is the version that is fastened to the inside of the cover with two 1/4" capscrews secured with a safety wire. No problem.

It fell right out. Divine intervention?? :-)
