@@johnheywood9826, this is copy and pasted from the J bugs page description...Collapsible or adjustable pushrod tubes are in our opinion meant as a temporary replacement for a damaged or excessively leaking pushrod. We always recommend replacing the pushrod tubes with single-piece, factory style replacements when possible. We do know that sometimes pulling the engine out and removing a head to replace the tubes is not always practical so 2 piece pushrod tubes do have a place. At $93.05 a set, that's a pretty costly temporary fix in my opinion
its funy your instructions say to install them that way i can see and read it ! but every other person and mechanic told me they go the other way ,,,,spring end towards head ,,,,,,,go see a video from " VW JAWBRAKER " and others ,,,,just saying if it works just leave it LOL
Thanks for the video. How are they holding up?
With the pressure of the spring
Is this supposed to be a temporary fix?
No. This is a permanent fix.

Ya I would think the tube would go so the oil drained down the part that slid inside itself first. That way it didn't leak at the spring area
