When I replaced the o-rings on my pushrod tubes I noted that whoever had been in there previously had gooped the ends with silicon. The o-rings were pretty shot, so I thought that it was a cheap fix and got a chuckle out of it. Now I'm wondering if I should have added it.
Any thoughts? Thanks |

ok, he did the right thing... but I think I screwed up... I saw that RTV had been used and went back with it along with the new O-Rings? do I need to pull everything apart again and remove the RTV?
