Collapsable Pushrod Tubes

Hi everyone,

Next weekend, I hope to install collapsable pushrod tubes in my 67 912. My pushrod tubes on the 1-2 side are leaking fairly badly.

Has anyone out there successfully installed these collapsable pushrod tubes? I know that you don't have to remove the heads to do this, but I am not sure about the heat exchangers or the flapper boxes.

I am confident that I can get the rocker rack off (and back on again!)and the pushrod tubes out (and back in again), but I am not sure that I can get the new tubes in through the flapper box. I would really like to hear from someone who has replaced their pushrod tubes with collapsable ones.

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Check the link below. Pelican has an article on installing collapsable oil tubes in a 911 engine. Hope it helps.

It has been my experience when working on my P-car, if something is in the way and I can remove it without much problem, get it out of the way. The last thing that you want are leaky NEW oil tubes.

Good Luck!
