    Chris, found the spray vent 1/2 down and it was clear. The more I look at it I am leaning towards the idea that the gasket was shot, as there is carbon buildup towards the front of the engine,and all over the internal shifter assembly. I believe a good gasket would have keep the combustion localized and directed it down.Ordered a new gasket from Dan Gano. Will report back once installed. Fleetwin will also try to look under the mystery SS cover. I just dread breaking off the screws. Lots of heat,PB Blaster and my impact hammer.
