All tubes are basically super thin. However, when you replace them they are now available in stainless steel that look just like the original ones. Big advantage is: no rust. --- On Wed, 4/8/09, ATX BUS <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: ATX BUS <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: push rod tube To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 10:13 AM Good suggestion.

It doesn't seem to be leaking oil. How big of a deal is this? I'd like to keep it running for the up coming shows and not have to do a total tear down. Jeff (atx_bus) 66 So-42 67 sportsmobile camper
