Re: oil fill tube on 53 flathead 8

I just had the same thing happen on my 52. thought the timing chain was hitting the cover at first, lucky I found this post and it was just the oil fill tube hitting the crank. so I just pulled up on it a little and the noise stopped. after reading this post it sounds like I need to investigate just where the flap is pointing. right now, the vent is not facing forward. does the tube just pull out? is there any o-rings or anything?
Thanks Mike
