Scat Adjustable Pushrod Tube

Scat Gold Adjustable Pushrod Tubes (Set of 8) - Part #20175

Product Overview

Upgrade your VW aircooled engine with the Scat Adjustable Pushrod Tube set. These tubes are engineered for high-performance and reliability, featuring a double O-ring seal design to eliminate the common oil leaks associated with standard factory tubes. Manufactured from high-quality solid aluminum with a striking gold anodized finish, these tubes offer superior durability and a custom look for your engine bay. Because they are adjustable, they can be installed without removing the cylinder heads, saving you hours of labor.

Vehicle Fitment

These adjustable pushrod tubes are designed for Volkswagen Aircooled Type 1, 2, and 3 engines (1200cc to 1600cc and larger). They are compatible with the VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus, and Type 3 models. They are an essential upgrade for stroker engines or engines with increased deck heights where standard-length tubes may not provide a proper seal.

Pro Tech Tips

Tip 1: Lubricate the Seals. Before installation, apply a light coating of engine oil or assembly lube to the O-rings. This prevents the rubber from "grabbing" or tearing as the tube expands and seats, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-free seal.

Tip 2: Clean the Bores Thoroughly. Use a lint-free cloth and a mild solvent to clean the pushrod tube seating areas in both the engine case and the cylinder heads. Even a small amount of grit or old gasket residue can prevent the O-rings from seating perfectly against the metal surfaces.

Tip 3: Verify Pushrod Clearance. After installing the adjustable tubes, rotate the engine by hand for a full cycle. Ensure that the pushrods are centered and not rubbing against the inner walls of the tubes, especially if you are running high-lift rockers or a high-performance camshaft.
