Ok, so....I’ve got my motor out, 75’ 1.8 and I’m changing the seals on the push rod tubes, ordered a kit from AA that came with all the seals and gaskets for an entire rebuild. So, I
Set the ones on the head side on, they’re green, all good similar in size and stature to the original ones...
then the crankcase side, now...the old ones looked like little tires, the new ones well...don’t. And when I fit them in the slot they look too loose?
are they wrong? Or are the old ones just flattened from 50 years of probably being there?
A different style but still as good,
or should I stop, get the right ones?
Thanks guys as always,

Yes, you should be good. The seals are supposed to be rounded, not flat like tires.

Do a test fit into the head and the case just a little oil to help it slide in. You will know pretty quickly if the fit it good. there should be enough tension to hold the tube in place with just the seal.

Thick seal looks like a distributor shaft seal NOT tube seal.

Are there eight like the one pictured ?
Is the kit package a known brand ?

Yes, the kit had 8...& is the Victor Reinz brand...they went together properly, just guess it’s my inexperience made me nervous....thank you

Yup, like you said, snapped in nice and tight. I think it’s ok...Just looked a bit loose, was a Victor Reinz kit... I’ll know soon! Lol... thanks again.

Good one ,lube them with motor oil and rotate as you pull inwards,I used a pair of waterpump pliers clamped loosely to avoid damaging the "o"rings.
Make sure you fit the spring bales to stop them moving outwards and you will be golden,cheers

About the same size as a PR seal but the dizzy seal is flatter and wider, in the pic that flat/wider seal is for sure a dizzy seal.

Thanks, it worked better than I feared...lol...not a bad job all in all...thanks again
