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

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.

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?

I've read the numerous postings about this issue, but I have a question regarding the Oil Filter Kit. I'm aware of the issue with the lack of oil to the tappets , hence the Oil Filter Kit #378858. It's described as "pipes and fittings" in Vol 15 No. 12.
Is there any description of the parts? A later bulletin references a flow restriction at the inlet to the oil filter. Was that a special fitting as part of the kit? My other question is the drilling and tapping for an 1/8" pipe plug for the return as part of the Oil Filter Kit. This block appears to have been drilled but plugged at some point in time. Is this the correct plug for the return?

Living in the Lynchburg area, I had the opportunity to see quite a few rare and unique autos in the collection.
One Saturday morning, my wife and I were at the downtown market (directly across from one of Mark's building)and parked on the side street was a Model J Duesenberg. Just parked, nobody around as if it was a normal situation.

Thanks Guys,
I thought it was aftermarket......It's one of the lots being offered from the Mark Smith collection.

Without a lot a details at the current time, can anyone help identify what year this head would fit?
Is it an aftermarket part or a factory part?
