hi all
last night i took on the job of R/R stock push rod tubes with
expandable double O-ring style. so i pulled the rocker shaft assembly
and push rods to find 1 bent and one worn about 1/3 or the way through.
so the last joker into this motor just put it together without care or
time. 3 tubes out of four where bent up and staightened alittle and
leaked a small amount. so off with the old and on with the new replaced
all 4 push rod tubes with new seals and 2 pushrods from the 85 vanagon
that i parted out. so everything should be just grand. will start today
and time to finish it up. been missing driving it for the last week.
