Works for an OHV design, this is a L-head engine, is it not? Put the dough on the high (outer) edge of each valve and put the head down with a used gasket, and rotate the engine.
I'm sure you're right. I haven't had a Packard engine apart yet to see how it works, or seen anything beyond pictures, and my own in a dark storage building. I saw pictures of the valvetrain from the side and assumed they were lifters actuating rockers like 'regular' engines.
I've only rebuilt a 302 Ford engine, a '67 Triumph straight six, a 2.0L Dodge Neon DOHC, a 1.6L Mercury Capri DOHC, and a few 13B Rotaries (which don't have any valves at all), so all of my engine advice should definitely be taken generally, not empirically. :)
