80' van i think sheet metal is missing to cover pushrods from engine to heat exchangers like a bug

also was adjusting valves and can see top of oil cooler and three,four bolt holes on end of fan housing near cooler, am I missing tin???

Thanks

definately missing the bottom pieces, but I don't think they are tremendously important. If it were me, I'd track some down at a junk yard to put on. Check the illustrations in your Haynes or Bentley manual, would be a good start. You can see the oil cooler from under the Van, but you shouldn't see the top of it, only the bottom, and the side. The top is covered by the same tin the covers the top of the driver's side cylinders, and you'd really have a problem if that was missing.

will look for it maybe do some airflow, cyl head temp is right on on cyl 3 but that gap under there at top of oil cooler threw me, esp since the fan housing has 3 threaded holes with nothing attached, I like free stuff but having to figure out if Mickey Mouse threw stuff away is kinda hard.
Hope your engine goes in smooth Derek

thanks
