I was very careful last time with this, followed the directions of the late Captn,
just used oil as lube and slipped them in place. some leak some don't, many say no sealant some have used RTV - looking for more advice so I don't have to do this again Phil |

Never had a push rod tube leak, I hate leaks.
Always used Loctite 565. Also make sure your crank case is vented properly, otherwise oil exits every place it can. |

Also make sure your crank case is vented properly, otherwise oil exits every place it can. I tried to confirm this by feeling the air from the dipstick tube, per this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=327308 There was enough volume of air to feel it blowing, but when I covered the hole with my finger it didn't feel like a lot of pressure. So I *think* the crankcase ventilation is working. Is there a better way to check Type 4 crankcase pressure? |
