Can someone tell me how the valve train, pushrods, rockers and valve stems receive lubrication on a 1923 Stutz Model K fire truck?
The engine oil pressure seems good measuring 55 lbs. The overhead valve cover does not appear to use a gasket suggesting that there is not a lot of oil present.
The engine is in good condition and I have not taken it apart so I have not been able to visualize any oil passages etc.
Since I don't see a source of oil with the engine is running and the cover off, I'm concerned that the valve train is not being adequately lubricated.

I've attached a photo of the valve train.
Thank you for listening.
