ADVICE:
When removing the pushrods or installing these in place, it is advisable to gently heat the alloy cylinders first, either in a oven (if you have access to it) or with a heat gun. Care should be exercised as excess heat can distort the cylinders.
When re-fitting the pushrod tubes, these should be ideally placed on a fridge freezer for a few hours so the metal contracts, aiding its installation into place.
