Keeps hot oil from splashing off the cam onto the bottom of the intake, AND if you bend a pushrod, it helps keep oil pressure up by keeping the lifter in its bore so you have time to pull over and shut down without frying the engine. 7363495-milodon-32610.jpg (25 downloads) Scott B.

The one pictured above is made by Milodon and is sold by Summit Racing. I think their part number is 32610. Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...
