Valve cover oilers

Sorry to post a tech question here, but im trying to find a source for fabricated valve covers for a 15 degree brodix head with valve spring oilers installed..... Must be able to clear shafts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Troy,

On my Gaerte midget motor we had a valve spring oiler system that ran along the cylider head either above the rocker shaft or between the rocker craddles and the valve springs. It was NOT a part of the valve cover itself. There was a -4 fitting coming into the front side of the cylinder head just below the mounting surface for the valve cover. Connected to that fitting on the inside was a 1/8" or 1/4" stainless tubing that ran the length of the head delivering oil that intern oiled the springs.

Give Tim Sosbe or Jeff Claxton in Rochester Indiana a call if you have any questions. The shop number is 574-224-9467
