So finally I was able to tackle my leaking pushrod tubes and over-size exhaust stubs. My son Harry came up to see us in BC at Xmas and brought with him the new exhaust stubs from Joel at GT Racing in Colorado Springs. Together with new CSP pushrod tubes I think I have a set up that looks the part and seals solidly. I am sure the experienced guys here know only too well to fettle the O ring receptacles in new heads to ensure a smooth entry. I know now......after carefully cleaning the sharp edges I found once I had the first set of tubes out the new tubes and O rings slipped in just fine. Have also resealed behind the flywheel where I have a couple of oil gallery plugs which I hadn't sealed well enough it would seem and put in a new main oil seal while I was at it just to be sure......Another couple of wee jobs and we can get the engine and gearbox back together and set up for a further run in my test stand. Here's a couple of pics......
