ABSTRACT:
An Oil Containment Device for Valve Adjustment is disclosed. The device provides a valvetrain oil containment dam and cover. The dam is bolted to an engine head in lieu of a conventional valve cover. The dam contains engine oil; thus, allowing the adjustment of engine valve tolerances while the engine is operating. A separate valve cover is provided which is removably attached to the oil containment dam to exclude contaminants during normal operation of the engine other than when the valve tolerances are being adjusted.
