Hi fellows. In need of a cover for the access point for grease fittings on the side of car.

Things to look for , restrictions in pickup screen, some guys use lots of silicone to seal things and it gets to the oil pan and plugs the screen. Does this engine have lots of blow by? Seen this before where badly worn rings pressurized the crankcase and oil can’t return. Bought a car once that had that problem( I knew it needed it’s motor done) and starved it of oil pressure. Can the oil return to the oil pan? Again if returns are plugged and slowing the return of oil can starve oil pump. Is oil pump healthy? Is it’s pressure relief spring weak?
Just some things I have found in any kind of engine.
I hope you get this fixed. It’s a sick feeling when the gauge drops off -
I’ll measure one of mine tomorrow (on Tuesday) and get back to you.

I'll get you some this Saturday ok

Grant,
If I missed a page in this, let me know. I think you are missing part 3.421 This is from the big book of parts. There are 4 listed for 1928. If yours is domestic model 54 then it is 18 11/16". Not sure where they take their dimensions from. You may want to verify the dimension from another rod on your car (my book has spark rod lengths also) to verify how they measure these, or you could a wait on Werner as his could be the same but he may have an export model which may differ? You could also make a list of the rods that will work and create a wanted ad and see if anyone has a spare one that would work for you.

Hugh, I do have this parts book, the gentleman I purchased the car from gave me that as well. I'll open it up. Thank you!!
