Pushrods

[spinalfever]

I started asking about this in the pushrods how to but thought this is a more appropriate place to post it.
I'm getting oil leaking our of my pushrods I previously thought it was coming our of the exhaust but upon further inspection found it bubbling out of the chrome around the pushrods. The question is I adjusted them and now they leak did I over adjust?

Are you sure the O-rings are in the right place when you put the tubes back together? Looks like one of the O-rings is sticking out in your picture at the top of the tube.

If your referring to the top pic that's actually a drip of oil but I will check the o rings

This is almost certainly the result of an o-ring that is not seated and not/not the result of adjusting the pushrods.

Pop the pushrod cover keepers and make sure the o-rings are fine good and properly seated.

Be sure you have the flat washer under each spring, and then slide center seal up to them.

I'm such a dumbass I'm sorry for wasting anybody's time. When I put everything back together after adjusting them I put the chrome covers on without putting the internal sleeves back up found this out while inspecting the o rings. Thank you guys for all your help I'll try to keep the brain farts to a minimum.

Simple fixes are good. F'ing stuff up is how we learn :up:

That is not a big drip of oil, that is half of the O ring sticking out. Either that or your oil is real dirty. To me that is definitely where your oil is coming from :2thumbs:
