If it is for the 1500 stock as a rock, then wouldn't stock be the way to go?

[size=5]STOCK ONLY....
The genuine VW pushrod tubes are made especially so they can contract and expand with the engine..
while helping cool the extremely hot engine oil as it flows back thru the tubes...
all other types of push rod tubes are to be used in an emergency so You don't have to take the engine out to replace one...
I use permatex gasket cement on both sides of the pushrod seals to stop any leaks even if the seals crack...
cheers

Now you're thinking.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I use these depending on the engine. Empi do a copy of the Jay Cee pushrodtubes (first link) but are more likely to leak IMO.

They'd be just the job, if you're after a very high impression ratio.

I just installed EMPI sprung aluminium tubes, seem fine to me, easy in/easy out. Guy at the shop recommended them as the best

I've started using the Scat gold with 2 o-rings for a while with no probs. They are a bit cheaper (like 1/2 the price) than the JC's

This is what i use, and 1200 tubes when high comp or short barrels.
Some of my customers ask to use the ones they supply, but they have that choice.
some heads have the lower studs and nuts behind the tubes so will need a tube that can be added afterward.
One of my own engines uses the Pauter tubes that use VW seals, and the other has home made tubes.
For the spring loaded tubes i always lube the seals that are between each side
to stop the o-ring being damaged
and also so that they keep tension on the end seals as the engine expands with heat.
Most of the sprung loaded tubes have less room inside han stockers.
