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)

No. They are inside the rocker covers. They are a thin spring the is held in though a channel in the rockers. And they are kinda a bitch to put in correctly. At least I have found it to be so, others may know a trick. Zach |
