My old pushrod tube "O" rings were very loose fitting on the head size (red) the block side were tight. Picked up a new set from the Bird and the fit the same, loose at the head end. When I tried to install them the ring would pull out and curl under the lip. Why? I have the old set, should I try the black ones on top too. '70 1.7 now 2056

If you have alunimum push rod tubes, they are probably no longer any good.
I had push rod tubes in my 1776 VW engine. From what I was told happened to mine, after time of heating and cooling, they eventually expand and dont hold the seals properly anymore. Which was why mine were leaking so bad. But then again, who said VW mechanics knew what they were talking about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
