Overview

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.

Compressor Tool VSC-1 08-13615 is required except for gasket installation (not included in kit).

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.

Very pleased with this product. My C85 engine had been on a “progressive oil change” for the last 5-10 hours until my A&P installed these. Now my engine is leak free.

REAL GASKET RG-200PR-4 PUSHROD TUBE SEAL KIT - 1CYL (SET OF 4)

December 5, 2023

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.

So far so good the installation required removal of the muffler system but went smoothly enough. It just takes time. So far not a drop of oil has leaked which is a refreshing change.

REAL GASKET RG-200PR-6 PUSHROD TUBE KIT - 1CYL (SET OF 6)

May 24, 2023

I installed this kit when I replaced the cylinders on my C-85, because I am sick and tired of the leaky factory pushrod tube boots. The kit is fairly straightforward to install, but be aware, you MUST use the correct spring compressor tool, and follow the instructions to the letter. Its very easy to tear or cut the seals if you arent careful, and that is what causes these kits to leak. Ive installed two of these sets so far, and I couldnt be happier.

I installed this on my 0-200. Relatively easy to install with my mechanic. Definitely recommend the compressor tool.
