This is a 6 right? There's two options, pull the engine and pull the cam towers, or install the collapsible oil return tubes.

Jayson - I think you mean pushrod tubes. Unless your 4 has overhead cams.

It would be helpful to know what kind of engine you have, a six or a 4. Depending, it could have either push rod tubes or oil return tubes. In this case, size makes a difference.

Then Mepstein is correct, push rod tubes. Replacement is fairly simple and inexpensive. You need two seals per tube (large & small). Go to the Pelican site under Technical Articles and they have a fairly decent discussion on how to do it. If you search this site I'm sure you'll find further comment.
Have fun and good luck. Keith |
