Home away from home	Thanks to all who responded! I was able to locate photos and the owner of a 645 with side curtains. I will be allowed to take additional photos and dimensions. I found out that they are very difficult and expensive to reproduce. Attach file:   29 64.jpg (150.05 KB) Posted on: 1/6 9:31

Home away from home	Thanks all, I reached out to ARO to no avail. He can duplicate but does not have the patterns. If nothing comes up , I may have to resort to Mr., Kikta's method. Happy New Year to all! Posted on: 1/1 11:45

Home away from home	West, Thank you for the photo. I'm trying to educate myself on the plumbing issues. Now I can compare the original vs. the "fix". Also, thanks for the tip on the tube color. Howard, again thank you for the input! Best, Steve Posted on: 2022/11/30 11:06

Home away from home	Todd, I appreciate your reluctance to drill the block. I was in the same position and was thinking about the filler tube also, if all it's doing is returning the oil to the pan. After taking another look, I found the filler plug where it had been drilled in the past. Posted on: 2022/11/29 17:14

Home away from home	Howard, Thank you for the information. That's what I was looking for..........So, I guess the flow was restricted into the filter forcing more volume into the tappet area? I did notice the follow up Service Letter was in Aug 1943. Did the plumbing mods take care of the issue of noisy tappets? Posted on: 2022/11/29 17:11
