A tube that is dented, rusted through or stretched from an old repair will leak oil onto the heater boxes and the tin, which leads to smoke in the cabin, a dirty engine bay and low oil. A leaking tube is also a fire risk when oil drips onto a hot heat exchanger. OE-style tubes are the correct fix when the heads come off. Adjustable aftermarket tubes are useful for a quick roadside repair, but most builders prefer stock tubes and new seals for a long-lasting seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush rod tubes can only be fitted with the cylinder head off or loosened well away from the cylinders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch each new tube slightly before fitting so the accordion ends press firmly into the seals.
