Porsche Crest removing pushrod tubes

Hello,

Does anyone know the best way to get pushrod tubes out without removing the heads? I'm planning on installing the after market expanding ones.
Thank you,
Chas.

Remove the pushrods then crush and fold the pushrod tubes with a pair of pliers. They are thin walled and easy to crush.

so... I can do this in the car?

If I pull the rockers, the pish rod just slides out?

Any other tricks???

Yes,with the rocker out of the way the pushrod slides right out. I keep the pushrods in a tennis ball can of clean oil so they are full of oil when I reinstall them.

Yes, with the motor in place, gotta deal with the flapper boxes if you still have them.

Porsche Crest tubes

Green,
Is it important to keep the push rods in the exact order they came out in for re-installation? With American V8's I've worked with it was always advised.
Thanks,
Chas.

For US iron and type 4s yes. For 356/912 the Men in plaid that I learned from don't bother so I don't as well and with no problems so far.

I wonder what the rest of the 912 gang do? What does Pellow recomend?

If it were me, I would try to keep them in order. Cant hurt. If something funny does arise with the rods, you would second guess yourself saying ' darn, should of put them in as they came out' And not just the rods

JMHO

Per the Orange 912 book

pg200 6. Remove valve pushrods, marking for proper reasembly(marking ends, also).
