I had a housing inspector looked at my oil burner well McLain from the seventies and he said that's missing a burner plate I'm not so sure he knows what he's talking about is there a burner plate that I don't know about thank you

Usually that means the iron plate where the burner is mounted. Take a pic of yours and post it- let's have a look. I'll bet it's a 66 or 68 series.

>> Good catch. The 66 series has the rating plate right above the CI front plate. Probably fell off years ago.
I just mentioned in another thread, a guy with a 66 series McLain, 30+ year old boiler. Maybe it's time to upgrade your system.
Do you have natural gas? Look into a mod con to save $$.0 -
Same OP in both threads.
