Hi all,
Just looking for recomendations on sealants to use.

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.
