Re: 35 Senior 8 Oil Loss

Senior eights thru 1939 used a roller cam follower; rollers were on a arm and the arms affixed to a pair of shafts external to the engine below the manifolds. You can see them in this photo, and also in the cross-sectional view from the 1937-1938 shop manual.

Yes, it's a flathead, and there is no plug in the block at the rear of the camshaft.
