I believe the answer to pushrod tubes was addressed here before. Clean the
tubes to remove all oil residue, and then apply LocTite's whicking thread

But, yes, a spitfire version of the gasket is something I'd really like to do. I
pretty much have it designed as well at the TR 6... It just takes a lot to get
from here to there and still be able to pay the rent.
