Push Rod Tube Seals

#1

Post by 1964 pan »

This may be a ignorant question. I plead guilty. I have always used cork gaskets. Years ago I tried the rubber o-ring seals with not much success. I see J&P Cycles have Blue Silicone pushrod seals. And. Something called Buna-N Pushrod seals. Are the old cork seals still the way to go? Or is there something better that I am missing out on? Thanks.
