If anyone gets bored on these long winter evenings and you are in a reading mood for comedy, try searching up, "Vintage Circle Track Flathead Ford Racing Engines & Associations".
Quite a few websites came up for me and the first one on my list was calling heads, "valve covers". While technically they do cover the valves, has anyone ever heard them called this?

Here we will have to make an assumption that anyone reading this type of material is a flathead RKI, (reasonably knowledgable individual).

Reading on down the list I found so much more BS and old wives tales, I had to adjourn and head to the bar because I was laughing so hard.

If you need a dose of "funny", give it a try.

Likely three or four times through the years right here on The 'Barn by some old CAR-mudgeons that've been around since they invented dirt!

hey! I resent that, I wasn't around for the invention, but, I did help refine it.
