Tangerine Pushrod Tubes & Seals, Did they work for you? Options

[pbanders]

Looking for feedback on the Tangerine pushrod tubes and seals:

Mine leak some, even with new seals, and I don't want to goop up the seals with silicone or whatever to fix it. Anyone else try these? Looking for feedback. My engine is a stock 2.0 L, I assume if I get these I just need the stock length? Thanks.

Thanks for all the input. I'll likely update to these at my next valve adjustment, and will reply here as to the install and if they are effective at stopping leaks.

i have found that leaks are due to what Jake said. Lewis Broyles( porsche mechanic) told me either Napa Sil-glide or the moly grease will allow the seal to slide over edge without getting cut or creased, dont force it get a slight twist motion to it. I did once side this last time with the Sil-glide silicone and other side with moly about 6 weeks back and so far no leaking on any of them. Used Viton Seals again so far so good. I did notice that the other ones i took out, several were leaking and upon inspection you can see theres a slight cut or bind on instal so they leaked. these also were new heads so i made sure i didnt have a edge or rough spot on the head along where that seal goes into the groove, so check the heads before you install as well.

Now hope i can do as good a job on my second attempt at installing anew transmission output shaft seal, that one is leaking already, even a bigger pain in the ass than the pushrod tube seals, removing the transmission again !!!!

Good luck

Sil- Glide does work well for leak- free assembly. I've had good luck with it, but haven't used it as much as "moly-B"
