[SEL] OT R-10 Borg Warner overdrive.

    Same deal with the nail head Buick; the tiny
valves limited engine speed before it could hurt itself

Not so fast there, The Buick engines like that will rev up high enough to 
flote the valves. They would hit the pistons at a severe angle due to the 
pent house head design (all the valves on one side) and bend a whole bunch 
of them. Not that much labor back then unless it holed some pistons.
