Re: [T3] Push Rod Tubes

["Ron Arnold" <type3@bellsouth.net>]

ok that is what i was looking for , i seen scat has a set of gold anodized
alum push rod tubes for $53.75 .. what orginaly had happened was when i
replaced my cylinders i reused the old tubes and they just kept leaking , so
i bought a set of Bugpack Nylon tubes and i guess they where just cheep
(Sorry Bugpack) and from what Scat advertises on there Scat Blue Tubes
(Nylon) is that other's that copyed from them do tend to melt , so that may
have been my problem.. im just to lazy to take my heads back off after i got
the motor running perfect except for leaks hehehe
