All,

'74, 2.0, stock

Read all there is on this within the board. Got the Vitrons - Check, Tubes in good shape - replaced one - Thank 914Rubber.

Was obsessive in cleaning the seal guides and seats
lightly oiled the seals and guides

They are in, are they in far enough? Too far?

What do you think?

Here are the back two

And the front two

Do they look seated correctly? In all of the way?


As can also be seen is the damage to the cable coating when there is an exhaust leak - which started this job!
