Replaced the pushrod tubes and seals and have almost no leaks. After two years, I am still happy with the results. I would do it again.

BTW, where is Rockwell?

Pritchard,

Can you tell me more about how your car runs? Do you know how much hp it puts out now or have some acceleration times? How well does your d-jet cope with the bigger displacement?
