Bruce,

Check your rocker shaft. there is a bolt that sometimes come loose and falls
in the sump.

As far as the front mounting plate, replace it with a steel one. There is a
guy in CT. that makes them and they go for about 75 $. I did it when I 
rebuilt
my 6 last year. Cant remember his name but he puts them on ebay from time to
time. If you are a member of the 6 pack forum, try a search and I am sure 
you
will find the seller.

Bob
