I'm getting ready to put my 1.7 back together and am wondering what you people do to insure that the push rod tubes don't leak. From what I saw taking it apart this is where most of my leaks came from. Is it possible? or were the tubes designed by the British? thanks.

We just rebuilt my stock 1.7 and i bought the expensive stainless pushrod tubes thinking that i did a good thing but they unfortunately were not as good as there price would dictate. We tried to make them round and were hopeful but after 1200 miles 2 tubes on the passenger side are leaking.
This stuff drives me crazy so i did some more research and came across these CSP tubes that are billet aluminum and under $300 shipped from Germany. Arrived in 2 weeks too. For me it is a small price to pay to hopefully never look back. And i did just order a tube of the Dow 55. Thank you for that recommendation. Fingers crossed |
