Left over part

[Jolly]

I need help indentifying this 2” long copper oiling tube. Apparently I didn’t give this to the machine shop when they assembled my rebuilt 1940 Chrysler 241flathead six. I’m thinking it might belong behind timing chain cover. I guess this is what can happen when 5+ months pass after you disassemble an engine. 

Thanks

I think that you are correct.  It looks like the Oiler tube for the timing chain.  However before you start taking apart your newly rebuilt motor, perhaps one of the more knowledgeable members of the forum can chime in.

Makes me wonder what, if anything, the machine shop put in that hole.

I will find out. Unfortunately, I have to open it up.  Before I do I will stop by his shop, show him the part and ask if he remembers that he didn’t have it.
