These kits from Real Gasket Corp replace problematic pushrod tubes of continental engine models: A-65, A-75, C-75/85/90/125/145, 0-200, 0-300 and GO-300. The installation does not require loosing or removal of the cylinder and converts it to an "independently serviceable" spring loaded pushrod tube system, similar to IO-470, IO-520, and IO-550 continental engines. It also allows access and service to the lifters.
The kit is designed for easy installation and uses real gasket's FAA-PMA pushrod tube seals as used in the continental IO-470, IO-520 and IO-550 engines. For certified aircraft engines. This is a log entry, no special paperwork is required. Kits include new push-rod tubes. Frequently purchased with Valve Spring Compression Tool 08-17411 |

Works great! For clearance from exhaust on cylinder #6 of an O-300 install, had to slightly dent the exhaust. These have a slightly bigger OD than original.

Fit perfectly, spring tool is a must in my opinion.

Great product once installed. Instructions left a little to be desired. My original lifter covers needed quite a bit of machining before the tube adapters would slide onto them far enough for the seals to work as intended. All in all it’s definitely a better system than the stock design. I’ll use them again.

Do you make a kit for a 360 lycoming
Installation was not too difficult and the leaks were gone!

Great kit. Installed over the past few days as I did a full re-seal on my C-90. With this kit and a host of new gaskets, I am finally leak free (for now).
I have just installed these on 2 cylinders. Quick call to Chris at REAL Seals and he gave me some tips and tricks to make the installation go super smooth. ACS was quick to ship and they arrived in perfect condition!
Kit to stop leaks, excellent instructions, price was very good also. This kit sure beats Continental kit price
Ordered a complet set for my O-300-A. After disassembly of exhaust, intake manifold and rockers, removal of old tubes were cut with a saws-all. Old tubes came out with a little effort, but easily. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. I read them about 5 times before it really sank in. Once I got started, everything made sense. Do only one cylinder at a time. Kits are well made and complete. Must use their installation spring compressor. Consider it part of the cost of the job. All parts are FAA/PMA so only a log book entry required. Tubes work on all Continental engines A-65 through O-300 series (See AML). This is the answer to leaky OEM push rod tubes.
I would like a price on a complete engine kit for the a65 Continental ground power unit the engine I have is stamped with an E 237 I have researched it as far back as it being a 1961 unit it has one mag
