I have read on ST Forums that Jake uses Permatex teflon pipe thread sealant to seal up pushrod tube seals. Does anyone (Jake?) know how to properly apply this stuff? Do you put it under the seal (in the "channel" of the pushrod tube) as well as on the part of the seal that rides in the case? Should I glop it on or just use a little bit?
Also, if I have green rubber seals for the head end of the pushrod tube, do I have the correct ones? I thought the Viton ones were brown? I am assuming that because the head gets hotter, that side matters the most. |
