Hi,
Can the pushrod tubes and oils seals be replaced from underneath with the engine still in the car? It looks like if I took off the exhaust I might have enough room? Thanks all. Steve |

yes you can.
You need to pull the rocker covers, then the rockers. Then you can pull each pushrod tube out and tip it in place to replace the seals. At that point you can get the push RODs out. You cannot completely remove the pushrod tubes. Some of them (maybe all) will hit the suspension ear. But you CAN replace all of the seals without removing the tubes completely. |

I tried a long time ago to pull the rod out without the tubes coming out, so now I know. Thanks. |
