Pushrod Tubes

Post by lowNslow »

Wondering if the new style pushrod tubes on my Continental cylinders will work on a Superior cylinder? These pushrod tubes are the ones that come with the new style Continental O-300 cylinders not the Real Gasket ones (maybe they are the same?).

They should fit just fine as the Superior cyls are PMA'd. You will have to remove/modify the Superiors to accept them, of course.

Thanks George, I was kinda thinking the same thing, otherwise I'd have to invest another $700 for new tubes. For some reason the price on new Continental cylinders has jumped to $1300-1400 compared to the Superiors for about $950.
