Abstract
A valve adjusting tool for use with internal combustion engines of the V-8 type. A valve cover is adapted for releasably mounting on the valve head, and an elongate opening is formed through the top of the cover with the opening being sufficiently large to enable ingress of valve adjusting devices. Within the cover a plurality of deflector structures are mounted with each structure having a deflecting surface which projects across the paths of spray from oiler holes so as to redirect the oil spray and avoid egress of the spray through the opening.
