[QUOTE="davidd, post: 32331, member: 1177"] I think you have done the best that can be done. I do remember the post you are referring to. The best solution I have seen is Robert Watson's, which is to install a thin aluminum sleeve in the push rod tube hole in the case. The installed sleeve has an "O" ring grove cut in it. Very tidy and servicable. You will have to take the head off, though and have access to the equipment or someone who could do the job. I do have a set of Colin Taylor's push rod tubes which disassemble more easily from the outside and use O rings in the upper seal while leavin a threaded spigot in the head, but you would have to take the head off to get the old tube out, and other than being new and round, do nothing for the lower seal. I have not run Colin's tubes, but they look like the racing push rod tubes installed on the Flashes with the big port heads. David [/QUOTE]
