I know I said this 292 project was on hold for now but working on getting all my bare tin unrusted and sealed before it turns into a bigger job later. My oil fill tube is very loose in the valley cover and wondered how you guys have treated this joint to keep oil where it's supposed to be. The detail of this joint on this '55 - '56 car 292 is much different than on my '56 truck 272. The well used 272 still has a very tight joint here but not this one. Was there a washer or seal originally installed here during fabrication and maybe the hot tank made it go away? For those that have this style detail on the original valley cover, what have you done to give the joint a tight seal? Or maybe I should borrow the 272 tin here. Thanks
