I pushed like hell to get the tubes in, but they never "popped" into place like many on here describe. They seem to be tight although they will flex back and forth laterally some if I push and pull on them. Is this normal, or should they be completely immovable?
SHould the outer lip of the tube be flush or inset in the head? They did 'POP' on the way out... |

In over 40 years of doing pushrod tube reseals, I've never had them "pop". They just go in. There'll be a change in the "feel" as the seals get past the lip, but that's about it. The big things are to use good seals, lubricate them well, have clean "sockets", and be really careful not to pinch or tear the seals (especially the outer ones) on the way in.
