FOT 'help'



I need some trivia intelligence....was there a so-called Le Mans Style Valve Cover Fastner? ?I produced a Knurled Knob which allows quick removal of valve cover and features an "O" Ring Face Seal for positive oil sealing. They are on eBay.

Joe, for whatever it's worth, MG T-series engines had knurled, bakelite knobs to hold down the valve cover.
