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. |

While they're apart you should probably reach into the bores where the o-rings seat. You may find some deposits that will lead to another leak if they aren't removed. The o-rings need to move a bit as the engine heats and cools, so that bore has to be smooth.
