I was very careful last time with this, followed the directions of the late Captn,
just used oil as lube and slipped them in place. some leak some don't, many say no sealant some have used RTV - looking for more advice so I don't have to do this again Phil |

no sealant!!! Just use the Viton seals and a bit of motor oil or lithium grease so they slide in easier. One the Viton are installed you should not have to replace them again

Once the Viton are installed you should not have to replace them again I have put 41K miles on my engine since 2013. I am chasing some oil drips, but not from the push-rod tubes. Being a fresh re-build everything was clean as Blizzard said. And I lightly lubed them since the break-in oil was close at hand. Not hearing why folks recommend no sealant, but sounds like both groups have had success. |
