Thanks for the info.
No oil leaks… for now. I was planning to change valve cover gaskets and oil pan gasket on my next oil change. I’ll wait on pushrod tube orings until I see a leak.

If those gaskets aren't leaking I sure wouldn't replace them.

No need to change them if they aren't leaking. :tu:

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". X3 on leave the gaskets alone. Clean it, drive it, if leaks show up THEN deal with them. If you need to do push rod seals, the valve cover gaskets are part of that job. Dennis
