push rod tubes

Hello,

How hard is it to change pushrod tubes?
What exactly is involved in replacing them? It a head off job? will i need new head bolts etc?

Cheers

What type/ size engine have you?

 

If it's a type 4 it's very easy with the engine in.

 

Sorry, ye should have said..
1600 twinport

 

Engine out, heads off Im afraid, no new head bolts needed, just seals and tubes if they are too corroded/damaged to stretch and re-use.

 

ahh ok, thanks for that

 

depending on what pushrod tubes you get you don t have to remove a type 1 engine either

 

i use jaycee pushrod tubes no probs no leaks , easy to do with heads on , but there are crap ones out there , empi, GSf , i even threw a set of cb ones away

 

Great,

Cheers for that
Alex

 

Managed to do mine with engine in was a bit of a fiddle and if i was to do it again i would take the engine out.
As others have said make sure you get the good seals i put a bit of wellseal on the seals as well and not had a leak from them for 2years
