I should know better than to get within 100 feet of an IC engine, but it
seemed like such a good idea at the time.

It's a Briggs 6 HP with OHV. Besides the usual two plastic screw-in oil
plugs, there's another just like it filled with what looks like graphite.
The
reservoir seems to serve the rods operating the valves and, of course, what's
wrong with the engine is that the intake valve is stuck.

What is that grey lubricant and am I correct in thinking it lubricates the
valve rods?
