Push rod tubes

The mechanic put two push rod tubes on me van. He said he used the smaller tubes. The van is a 1.9 df water cooled. I've not seen any oil leaks but might there be a problem doing this. I've noticed the tappers are really noisy for the first 15 minutes every time I start it

Re: Intermitant fault - no idle
