I have these in stock for $19 each.  They work very well especially if
you want to keep the head on but need to replace lifters.  I did my 85
Westy with these last year since the gaskets looked new but the lifters
were all trash (refused to pump up even after Marvel Myster Oil
treatments, etc).  They pop right in and don't leak.

Thanks,

hi all
ive not used expandable push rod tubes before for any of my air cooled
cars before but i do know that they exist. but what i need is to know if
there is such a beast for the vanagon 1.9L. mine is leaking at the base
seals and the head is not leaking so i dont want to pull the head for a
standard push rod. please advise. thanks Jonce
