what to use?, just oil or sealant or nothing? Options

[jacksun]

hi,

this question is about the push rod tube seals and what to use if anything?

I have read many opinions... still not sure

if I use a sealant like permatex high temp thread sealant,,,,,,,,,,

where would I place it......A or B or not ?

the seals in the image are old and not replaced yet

thank you

The lower part of the spring should rest on the shoulders of the tube, and not poke down into the tube. If the spring does poke down the tube, you can use a hook to pull the spring outward, and it should catch on the shoulders of the tube.

Failing to do so can result in a nice notch near the end of your pushrods, ad the steel spring grinds away the aluminum rod.
