f20 engine (parts missing?)

I am looking for a parts breakdown for the engine on an F20. I believe that the engine is missing a crucial piece and I don't believe I have it. I am looking for what appears to be a tube that runs thru the head into the block into another tube leading to the center cam bearing. Is there such an animal on this engine? The tube inside the block would definietly not seal with the head gasket as it is down inside the block.

Any help here would be great.
 
give nebraska cowman a shout, he has a lot of parts for the f series, and knows his way around em good. nebraskacowman.com
 
Not an expert by any means, but think I know what you are talking about. Believe this to be under head on right side there is a hole. There should be (at least on mine) a brass deflector piece which I believe lets oil drain back into crankcase, but prevents oil splash or whatever from entering the head area from the engine. One way or another, there is a piece that goes in there. Let me know if this helps. Not sure I got the direction in which it works, but had to make one for my regular should be close to a 20. Maybe someone else knows. Have not ran across others that knew about this hole and the piece that goes in there. jim in Ill
 
I could be wrong but I don't think there is a tube on the F-20. The head is oiled through the valve cover. The felt in the trays on top of the rockers holds the oil for the rockers. The lower engine slings the oil up to the cam bearings. The only tubes I know of are in the lower part of the block and it goes external from the oil pump and then a small one to move oil to the front of the engine to a slinger on the crank gear.
 
You hit the nail on the head for what I am talking about. I have that little brass piece but didnt know if it was something somebody put in there or if it was a factory part. I didnt throw it away as I wasnt sure about it. What I don't understand is that the tube that I am talking about that goes towards the cam bearing is inside of the water jacket of the engine, but does not come all the way up to the deck face of the block. If there is nothing else there besides that brass deflector plate I dont see what would keep the antifreeze from going right into the oil if you fill the block with coolant.

Maybe I looked at it wrong and the tube is within a spot in the block that is sealed from coolant but I don't believe it to be.

its sealed :wink:

the first engine i ever built had me baffled for a long time. i made the switch from streetrods to pre 39 IHC, and it was definately a learing experience. you'll get it though. im fairly certain i could rebuild one sleeping now :lol: :wink:
 
Been a few years ago, but if I remember correctly, doesn't the head gasket seal over the brass piece??????? The reason I am saying that is that I had to pull the head gasket off another F 20 in order to see if it had the brass piece. Seems like I remember the tube you are talking about, and all I did was make sure it was clear and clean and do not think you have any pieces missing.
