While removing my Kerry Hunter header to install copper gaskets, I discovered 3 of my 4 passenger side tubes were no longer seated fully. I'm sure for most of us, this is routinely checked, but maybe for some of the less knowledgable, including myself, a good reminder.

Your pushrod tube keeper spring is either not installed or installed incorrectly (very common)

QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Apr 2 2013, 11:57 AM)  Your pushrod tube keeper spring is either not installed or installed incorrectly (very common) Zach I was putting the springs in this weekend and discovered that the easy route to pushrod spring installation also puts them in wrong. If they are in right they actually hold them in place, but if put in the way they naturally want to go, they just stick down the tube. Not good. |
