The tappet cover, also known as the valve cover, is a component in internal combustion engines that houses the tappets, or valve lifters, and protects the upper part of the engine, including the camshaft and valves. It is usually made of metal or durable plastic and is sealed to prevent oil leakage. The tappet cover also helps to keep contaminants out of the engine and maintains proper oil circulation. Its design often includes ventilation features to manage engine pressure and reduce oil mist.

For a 350 small block engine, it's generally recommended to use a high-quality motor oil with a viscosity grade of 10W-30 or 10W-40, depending on the climate and operating conditions. If the engine is older or has higher mileage, a thicker oil like 20W-50 may be beneficial. Always check the manufacturer's specifications and consider using oil with the appropriate additives, such as zinc, especially for flat-tappet camshafts. Regular oil changes and proper maintenance are key to ensuring the longevity of the engine.
