Has anyone heard of an L-block type engine?

I'm not sure if this Customer was serious, or pulling my leg.

Where's the "key to the hydrostatic lock"?

L-Block was a traditional engine design before OHV. It refers to the L-shaped configuration of the cylinder in relation to the valves

OK.

Are there any L-Block engines left on the market, being sold new?

I'm glad I wasn't being "tested".

 Briggs & Stratton uses an L-head in their lawnmower blocks.

Turns out Sears DOES carry the small valve compressing tool, that work on the L-block engines, a Customer was looking for.

Something was "put in front of it" on its hook.
