Say, didn't some folks put vents on their earlier Guzzis (to match the
newer Guzzi covers) so that moisture wouldn't condense in them on cold,
damp days? Could be that the vent arrangement didn't work out well and
the bolt is just to plug up the hole.

| Yeehaw. welcome to the world of Farmer Brown Performance Tuning. I've seen worse, so take heart. I'm guessing the valve cover bolts that have you mystified were probably to mount some thing or other, rather than any function. Dont forget to take lotsof pictures of the modifications. SOme of the craziness needs to be archived. -----Original Message----- From: Maitrim-@aol.com [mailto:Maitrim-@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 6:27 AM To: MG-@topica.com Cc: Loopfram-@topica.com Subject: Eldorados |
| Question: On each of the valve covers in the middle is a hex head bolt. I pulled a cover off while at the seller's house to satisfy my curiosity. I'm still confused by these bolts, as they have an assortment of washers then a nut on the inside of the cover. What is the function, and is this oem? However, I'm pleased to now own an Eldo. I didn't realize the amount of subtle differences between it and the '70 & '71 Ambos in my garage. Later, Mark Labadie Amherst VA |
