OEM item, plastic ends, might be aluminium, don´t ever seen any other on those...

finally have a bit of time to continue on this thing and ordered some parts too. radiator full aluminum, gasket kit and hydraulic lifters. put whole engine in pieces for cleaning and checking piston, crankshaft... bearings. all no good. except lifters and rocker arms.

fixed the damage on front left side minor adjustments left for measurements. interior is off to lift the roof back where it was before.

if anybody selling front left fender + hood, I can buy.

put back everything in one piece. had little bit of work on valve seats. didn't have 36 angle cutter, machine shop did it for reasonable price 4x valves+seats 60e. not bad though.

engine went back into its place with tranny in one piece. i was lazy enough not to remove the brackets to make it quicker (in my head) but it wasn't the best idea. remove the mounting brackets from chasis saves time and nervous.

after all, It starts and runs fine. gears etc plays well.
