Projects built lots of cars, but never a 32 roadster...

I have 16 each of these seals in my box of gaskets...


I looked back through some old pictures of the engine and saw that the valve springs still have the old school oil splash guards on them, so I'm guessing I'll have to use the umbrella style?
I have all the tools to do the job right.

 

Interesting, has me thinking...
I don't get a puff of oil smoke when I start it up which I believe is usually with bad valve seals...I'm definitely going to check my pcv line for mucho oil before getting into the valve seals job.

 

Have been driving the heck out of the car this summer... Syracuse Nationals, NSRA Nationals, etc.. It's a lot more fun with the 4.11 gears. My personal detailer (son) does a great job keeping it clean.
