Corvair Pushrod tubes, seals, and gaskets.

I won nearly 2 sets of "B" stock Chrome Push-rod Tubes on ebay for net to nothing, knowing that I had to do all the push-rod seals. Yesterday, I tackled the job. Installed the chrome tubes, seals, powder coated the valve covers, and cold set the rockers. For the powder, I mixed a bit of Prismatic's Sparks Blue with their Wintergreen. It was a guessing game, but they came out really nice. I did the cold set as per the book, and driving it all day today was great. No valve noise at all. No more oil leaks either.
