No, the push rods. The right valve cover was loose and only had two bolts holding it on. It looks like they tried to "rebuild" the carb (it is in pieces in the trunk) and maybe that did not work so they pulled the valve cover and the rods? Who knows after so many years? The engine could be toast, or it could be fine.
The outside of the block looks to be intact, but won't know until we get it pulled apart.
