Looking for feedback on the Tangerine pushrod tubes and seals:
http://www.tangerineracing.com/pushrodtubes.htm 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. |

QUOTE(r_towle @ May 18 2022, 11:28 PM)  Please post your experience if you do this Tangerine's? I have them on both engines, street and race. I like them for a few reasons: - They're not the cheap thin Coke can aluminum tubes that seem to be popular now. They're made of sturdy Stainless. - I'm guessing they're slightly larger diameter with machined grooves for Viton o-rings. When you slide them in you get a satisfying solid "thunk" so you know they are seated very well. I use a little engine oil on the o-rings as assembly lube. - Uses a smaller diameter tube where it gets close to the exhaust stub in a couple places, better clearance for my Tangerine headers. - Chris has welded a flange around each one, making removal easier. No more clamping Vice-Grips (or whatever) around the tube, simply lever against that flange to pop them out. - Available in custom size, though I did not need it, even when I needed shorter pushrod tubes. - And most importantly: no leaks. |

Flange to remove them, genius! |
