I had the head on my 35 B completely redone except that I didn't replace the push rod sleeves. So, guess what, I am getting some water in the oil/engine and since my new gaskets and all look good I think the sleeves need to be replaced. I guess you just drive them out as per the I& T manual and tap the new ones into place, right?. What is the O.T.C. puller they refer to? Anything special to watch out for? What is the white lead they refer to? Is this a sealant? Can you substitute form a gasket? Sorry for all of the questions but I would like to get this done right. Thanks.

You can and should use form-a-gasket or some other gasket sealer on the tubes when installing them, this will help prevent leaks.

Don, the best advice I can offer is to place the tubes in a freezer an hour or so before you drive them in, that really helps and, of course, use a good and proper size of bushign driver and be sure they are lined up when almost through just before they enter that last close fit in teh other side of the head.

Don I have just redone the head on my 51 B. NAPA auto parts reworked my head and replaced the pushrod guide tubes when they had it. Be sure what ever you do use brass tubes as steel will rust out rather quickly. The white lead referred to is a lubricant and anti seize not a sealer. I have used it on antique aircraft for years when replacing valve guides their on old engines. good luck Skip
