I just got a 1919 Chevrolet model 490 with the original engine. The engine runs good. It has no dip stick. (and apparently never had one) There are 2 drain spigots on the pan, one higher than the other. I am guessing the lower one is used to drain the oil. The top one is used to check and see if any oil runs out of it?
(Fill it up until oil just barely runs out of the top spigot to check proper oil level?)
The oil pressure gauge only shows about 2 lbs pressure. I don't have the service manual yet but I am guessing this engine runs on pretty low oil pressure at idle. Thanks for any input
This engine never had a valve cover, the oil can is to lube the valve train every time the car is used!
