[QUOTE="Trickymicky, post: 121484, member: 3914"] I have replaced the ET104's without lifting the heads on a Comet and a Rapide. That was about 2 years ago and all's well so far. The method may make some cringe, but it worked for me. After removing the pushrods and lowering the tube enough , i carefully stretched a new stock replacment seal over the pushrod flange , using the right angled end of an engineers scriber and some lubricant , and then the same again, over the ET123 seal and nut. By now, the seal is looking pretty sorry for itself , but left a while seemed to return nearer to its original size . It then has to be stretched enough to get it past a really small gap between one of the cylinder fins and the pushrod tube, but again, it returned close enough to its original size to get it in the crankcase. I did all 6, and non of them leak. [/QUOTE]
