Hello, I've got a 6-71 detroit, 4 valve in a 42' Uniflite and I am in the process of replacing the head. I want to clean and paint the engine, but while doing so, I ran across this strange looking part. The service manual really doesn't describe it, or at least I couldn't find it in the 960 pages.
Does anyone know what this part is? It's bolted on to the lower front of the block and the base of the part seems to be made from aluminum, while the upper part looks like a tin can.
Please check out the photo and if you know what it is please enlighten me.
Thanks,
jim
