Gunsmoke Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Found these unusual (at least to me) small U shaped washers/spacers in a box of misc '31 Chrysler parts. They are 3/16" thick, 1/2" diameter and slotted as shown for a fit over a 1/4" rod. Not a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha39 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) As always keiser31 is right, they are valve keepers they lock-in the spring retainers that keep the valve springs in place Edited June 2, 2018 by Sasha39 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha39 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yes Spinneyhill, but that was maok's problem as I gave him the engine I believe that he has fixed that problem. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
