rogerowen Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I've noticed some oil appearing around the base of N0 1 push rod tube. I will be doing a head rebuild over winter and this would obviously be a good point to address this. I can't see on the workshop manual how these tubes are fitted - anyone know? Thanks.

RobH Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) They are just swaged in Roger. There was a longish thread on this a few years ago where people were trying sealing materials but I can't remember the details. A search might reveal it.

Paul J Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Recently I re-swaged my push rod tubes that were all badly leaking by making up this simple tool, so far it has worked a treat with no more leaks, I also added a little lactate sealant before clamping the swage. You are quite welcome to borrow the tool Roger Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
