I tried to search the BBS but it does not like words that are less than 3 characters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
How much is it to pay someone to do push rods for oil leaking from them? Any articles on how to do it yourself? Thx, David (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

Use Viton seals inborad and outboard... CLEAN THE SURFACES OF ALL OIL!!
Then ensure there are no sharp edges inside the cylinder or case bores(this is a major rookie problem area, the seals are cut as son as they are installed and leak immediately) Then use loctite 7516 Thread sealant on the inside and outside of the o rings... Leaks are gone. I have built engines so dry underneath that the pushrod tubes actually rusted completel out- Then they leaked after 12 years!! |
