I am currently preparing the V8 from my organ donor before finally swapping it into my restoration project. I've been stripping, cleaning and preparing the intake manifold, valve covers, carburettor 'elbows' and various other bits'n'bobs from on top of the engine before I have them refinished in 'blue grey' RAL 7031. I've polished up the 'ridges' on my early-style valve covers. I noticed there are no 'splash plates' on my rocker assemblies, because the motor was originally fitted with later-style flat-topped SD1 valve covers which incorporate these 'splash plates'. I've just realised I should probably post this in the 'Wanted' section. I'll copy it to there as well.
The six-million-dollar question is if anybody has a pair of these baffle plates they'd like to part with for a reasonably small sum? Please don't hesitate to reply if you are able to help me, as soon as my gasket set arrives and I get the engine parts back from the painter I want to fit it all and carry out my engine transplant. I'd prefer to have fitted the two 'oil splash plates' before I tighten up the valve covers on their new gaskets.
