I would be concerned about the engine and who last worked on it! Those look like valve stem seals on the pushrods!
Look like Aspen / Volare manifolds to me, but cant be sure without the casting number.Any more info on the manifolds?
oooooo that's funny are you shore its not 5hpops:.....ArtieMaybe he hed problems with the pushrods popping off of the lifters....
The seals are to keep the lifters from bleeding down and adds 3 horsepower....
He wanted to use every part in the rebuild gasket kit....
I pulled the rockers and there is seals on the valve stems too. I am going to pull the heads and take a look. Any more info on the manifolds?
well It finally happened my wife said some day I was going to fall off my chair laughing and this is the one that brought my big *** off the chair OOOOOOOOO dammit boy!!!!!!!!!!!!....I sure hope that guy didn't rebuild that motor..ya I would take them off..thanks I needed that...........Artie
