Hi all,
Just looking for recomendations on sealants to use.
What do people normally put on the push rod tubes?


Thanks for any tips.

dont use any sealant at all they are design to be used dry as such

as the tube is bellowed and is squashed to fit and seal

make sure you use new push rod tubes and stretch them slightly prior to fit

And use good seals....not cheap ones as they will crack and leak.:tu:
