Has anyone used these viton seals before on the pushrod tubes and valve covers? I would be curious if they would help with the leaking or not?

The short version of the instructions: Pull the tubes halfway out of the head to replace the seals. No need to pull them out to the point where they run into the suspension console. --DD WHAT !?!?! you don't have to pull the full motor and everything down to the pistons to replace these?!?! DAMN IT! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks for the info, I have the whole thing pulled apart anyway, so I figure now would be a good time to change everything. Are the cork ones more prone to leaking then the viton seals for the valve covers? (my cork ones have leaked in the past. I think they just get saturated. I saw this article that was pretty interesting. Anyone add the lips to the valve covers? http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...alve_covers.htm |
