I'm getting ready to put my 1.7 back together and am wondering what you people do to insure that the push rod tubes don't leak. From what I saw taking it apart this is where most of my leaks came from. Is it possible? or were the tubes designed by the British? thanks.

Motor oil. On 1.7 engines there were two sizes of push rod tubes. Early heads had smaller diameter opening so watch for that. Use a 15mm or so deep socket with extension to push them in. You should hear a pop sound when they seat.
