ABSTRACT:
Engine brace apparatus for an overhead-valve engine comprising a crankcase, a cylinder, a cylinder head and a rocker arm box in operative securement, with pushrods communicating between the crankcase and the rocker arm box, and a rigid elongate member securing the rocker arm box to the crankcase outwardly of the pushrods. The brace adds rigidity to a conventional overhead-valve engine and structurally ties together the engine's rocker arm box, cylinder head, cylinder and crankcase, and prevents the engine's pushrods from lifting the rocker arm box.
