Hello family,
I am thinking my oil seals on the push rod tubes are the cause of some of my leaky leaks. What is the consensus on this, and what is involved in replacing the seals???? Floss, T |

Push rod tube seals leaking, I have never heard of this happing before (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) I think this the most common leak. They are pretty easily replaced. You can even do it while the engine is in the car. Take off the valve cover and remove the rockers. With a little muscle you can pull the tubes right out. Put the new seals on, here is were you will get everyones recipe on how not to make the seals leak. I just put a little motor oil on them and slid them back in. I used a spark plug socket (the large one, not sure the size) and gave the tubes a little tap to seat them. Put the rockers back and adjust them to spec. put the valve cover on with new gasket and hope there is no more leak.
