:?:Can anyone tell me if the adjustable push rod tubes that fit 1.9/2.1 watercooled will fit 2.0 Aircooled? has anyone tried it,what was the result. regards.

Chickencoop,
Don't know, but if you look

Here

(At steve8090's comments)

I wonder why you would need to use an adjustable tube.
Just a thought

Mike

2.0L aircooleds are different to the wbx.. you dont need adjustable ones, just get a set of new orings and make sure the clips are in properly..

some one told me you could use them,thanks.

someone told you wrong
but if someone knows where to get adjustable push rod tubes for an early DG motor, i'd be interested as i don't want to have to take the head off to change a leaky tube

Dink,
Look at this link, it's the

only one I know

Hope it may help.
Mike

Jeeeesus Christ look at the price.....GSF don't know what they're missing stopping stocking them...

Seriously Chickenperson, you're better off (as will someone else be) selling them and using the proper tubes, they're a piece of proverbial to change on a CU - hardest bit is the spring inside the rocker cover, and if you lay it down 'as it came out' you'll put it back right and can't go wrong - use the end of a broom handle, or a socket in an appropriate size to knock the tubes back in....

Jen,
I believe the DG is a water pumper, and I could be mistaken but it is it not a head off job to replace a push rod tube? Leading to the possiblity of a broken stud , or three, and...... need I go on?
Exchange rate wise $40 is about twenty odd quid, which could be a bargain if only one tube may save the day.
Chickencoop has already been advised by the quote from the Steve8090 reply.

11 euros each which is the cheapest i've seen them for

Meant chickencoop was going to change the pushrod tubes on a CU? My error.....I think.......and what Steve said I never read at the time, tis true, but it makes perfect sense to me......and I didn't exactly repeat it verbatim, I made different points.......

Some ya win........

Cheers Jen,
Didn't mean to be critical or anything, I had a pretty busy day yesterday
