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 |

Hopefully no RTV has entered the engine where it blocks small oil passeges, ie the mains or cam bearings.
Keep that crap away from your engine! Works great on sealing a water pumper but there is no water in a 914 motor! Geoff |
