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.

Viton seals. I've removed the heads three times in the past few years for reasons unrelated to leaking. I replaced the seals each time, never reused them. I also make sure the bores are super clean and then put a fine coat of engine assembly lube on the seals so they don't catch or twist. Zero leaks every time.
Stock pushrod tubes as well. |
