I want to replace my push rod tube seals without removing the heads. Do I twist and pull the tubes with pliers? Also, my engine is out of the car and I'm reinstalling the injection, re-sealing and doing a engine clean up...My compression was good at 130 psi with no smoking. I don't really want to pull the heads and cylinders but do you see any real advantage to doing this, (ie. honing the cylinders and removing carbon).
Thanks for your response |

See if you can get a set of pliers that push outward and have the grip area on the outside of the tips. I usually install the new ones with a liberal application of silicon grease. Do not use a sealing compound like RTV or non-hardening compound -- they will continue to leak. Grease up the new seals, put them on the tube, press the tube in and rotate it a few times around to ensure a good seal.
