While installing new headers the stub pipe at number 1 cylinder contacted against the push rod tube and it now leaks oil at the cylinder head end.
I have installed push rod tubes on an engine out of the car, but what are the options for fixing a leak in this location in situ? Big boo boo. |

Yup, they can just come halfway out of the head. Leave them hanging from the cylinder head, you can access both ends and replace the seals there. You don't even have to remove the pushrod, just leave it in the tube, but make sure it doesn't fall on the ground.
