[DeTomaso] Torker and Valley Pan

[fresnofinches at aol.com]

  I've always heard the warning about how the turkey tray keeps the oil from burning and turning to ash on the bottom of the intake. 
 
 I just pulled the heads of my Cleveland with about 28K miles on it and there was no turkey tray. There was also no ash or burnt oil. Nothing but just nice clean, fluid oil clinging to clean aluminum.
 
 I find it rather questionable that a steel block-off plate would burn through, when all it is subjected to is the radiant heat coming off the heads. If radiant heat is enough to dissolve a thin steel block off plate, then maybe that is where my turkey tray went to? ;-)
