Posted: Sun May 28, 2017 12:45 pm Post subject: L134 valve side cover |
|
|
I have my L134 motor pulled from my '52 M38 for some work and was going to add in the PCV system and heat riser assembly since a PO removed both. Ordered all the parts I thought I needed and ran into a hiccup immediately.
I have looked at a ton of pictures and exploded views on how to do this but I never noticed that it seems like my valve side cover has been put on 180 degrees and the ventilator cup body has been swapped out with some other style?
We have already verified that my motor is a replacement L134 motor. Is this as easy as pulling that cover, turning 180 degrees, and bolting it back up? I'm not the kind of guy to just start pulling stuff apart without knowing what it is going to affect so any advice would be much appreciated.

That pipe hanging down from the single bolt on the right (aft) end of the side valve cover is a road draft pipe. It's the predecessor of the PCV valve. They were usually installed that location on most Willys vehicles.
As already mentioned just remove the cover and rotate it 180 degrees and then locate your appropriate parts with the cup now on the left (fwd) end of the side valve cover.

Awesome, glad to know the valve cover is that simple. I didn't look close enough buy yes, I do need that cup. I ordered everything from the PCV valve to that cup. Have one you are looking to sell Brian?
And thanks for the advice on the oil lines. I tried to order what I believe is everything to fix those two lines earlier last week but some parts are back ordered for a few weeks. Haven't tried looking for used parts but if anyone knows of one that's for sale, I would love to know!
And in order to keep my wife happy, gonna have to leave the fuel pump in its tweaked state. Would love to get it all back to original but gotta pick and choose the battles right now. |
