When I bought my 87 GL for $1800 I knew it had a leaky pushrod tube and was
typically an easy fix.  I ordered a collapsable pushrod tube and seals from
the BD.  However,  when you do not place the pushrod in the center of the
lifter bad things can happen and they did.  It totaled out a entire lifter
and pushrod !  So I got the lifter removed over the Labor Day holiday and
ordered the new ones on Tuesday from the BD.  I recieved the replacement
lifter, pushrod and tube from BD on Saturday (THANKS  RON !) and put back
together with the greatest of care.

 My 87 GL Vanagon lives !!

Thanks to all !
