OK I have tried everything to get the damn car to stop leaking. I have the damn old heads with the smaller ID for the push rod tubes. I have tried many different O-rings with the same leaking. I can hear the oil driping onto the HE. I don't want to have the holes rebored and install the newer tubes. Is there some kind of gasket sealer I can use with the o-rings to get some kind of a seal. I heard you can use teflon, is it the tape used in plumbing or some kind of sealer.

NO SEALER! It increases the likelihood of leaks. Just use the correct o-rings, and make sure the bores are clean, free from spots of old sealer and oil crust, and are unmarred. Oil the o-rings and insert the tubes with a twisting motion. The Cap'n
