Default pushrod tubes

i have a pushrod tube leaking at the bottom of it. i was thinking about doing the job my self but taked to some people and they said it is a little complicated. what i need to know is if i take apart this bike and dont move any thing shouldn't it go back together the way it came apart.

what make and yr is ur bike, not that hard just need to be careful when going back together in how you adjust your push rods and are they adjustable, two ways to do this job. also is this the front or rear head.

easy job, remove tank, take off the rear rocker cover, remove rocker/remove pushrod slide up up and remove, remove and replace o ring, replace and put rest back together. might be wise to replace all the o rings while you are there, minimal extra work and not much more money.

If stock you will need to remove and go thru the rocker box. stock rods would have to be cutt out to go just thru the side. if you have not done this before better to have it done. If you are good with a wrench then get manual for specs, and go for it. make shure to get new gaskets and O rings for the tubes.

also make shure not to mix up push rods, one is longer than the other.

Why not go ahead and upgrade the cams and other components while messing with the pushrods? You can go with adjustables and forget taking off the rocker box covers and all of that labor and aggravation. Get the kit from Fuel Moto. It has all of the gaskets, etc. Plus they can help you with a new set of cams.
