Re: [Fot] Pushrod tube leaks oil

[Ken Suhre <kenandtweety@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for all your suggestions.
Here is what I plan to do. With the rocker assembly and pushrods out of the
way, I will lightly tap a tapered drift into the tube to expand it,taking care
not to drive it down. This should seal off the tube to prevent any solvent
form going down into the engine. Then after warming it with a heatgun, and
making sure no oil residue remains, apply some Locktite to it on top and and
on the outside where it goes through the bottom lip of the head. I probably
won't know if I am successful until the next race.
Mark, I did search all 400 of the treads in the Archives under leaks. I didn't
find any pertaining to this. Possibly the one your remember was too old or
losts. Thanks, so much, for keeping all this information possible.
