Rod Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Not quite sure how these are fitted into the head but I seem to have a continual slight seep of oil around the base of the 4 at the rear of the head. Nothing dramatic but I suppose this has the potential to get worse. Even when cleaned up and left to stand for a few days oil re-appears in small quantities. The rocker cover gasket has been changed and tightened to no avail. Local group members puzzled. Any thoughts please. Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Smith Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I believe that the push rod tubes are held in the head by having both ends flared. I replaced 2 tubes some years ago by using a nut,bolt & washers of suitable length together with two disc wheel nuts to form the flares. Tighten up the nut & bolt and the push rod tubes are retained in the head - worked for me. I also used some hylomar to aid the sealing process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
