The screens on the heads is a great idea.

Roger said he had adjusted the valves just 3 weeks prior to my buying the car.

He used cork valve cover gaskets, saying it made things easier when it came time to adjust the valves.

He said the box and engine do not leak, but if I find a drop of oil under the car, it's from the cork valve cover gaskets, they weep a little bit and if I did find any drops of oil, that's where they came from.

There WERE a couple drops of oil under the car, and I assumed they came from where he told me they came from.

The underside of the car was relatively clean, looked just about what a car with a weeping valve cover gasket would look. Not bone dry, not dripping wet, not terribly dirty.
