Change the rod and ...
By John - 09/30/2002 4:43:36 PM; IP 142.177.94.2
I'd change only the pushrod and then check the lifter, ...leakdown time, etc. (not sure how to do it, but someone here will know if you arn't sure and don't have a book). Then I'd check the lift to make sure the cam lobe is OK. I suspect someone bent the pushrod at the shop and either didn't notice or didn't care.

Now, about that rear seal....YES, you need silicone in the bottom corners of the saddle area for about 1/2 inch past the seal towards the flywheel (I think that's right). Also, the rubber inserts are tricky to install and those darn nails also. The rear seal parting line should be up at least 1/2 inch rotated from the bearing cap parting line. The seal directions should have covered all this...seams funny you are asking about it. Also, the rubber inserts need some silicon on the ends when you install the pan gasket. I havn't doen this for a bit...anyone else got some tips for this fellow?
This thread, so far...
