Real Gasket Corp is the manufacturer of the push rod kit you speak of. http://www.realgaskets.com/files/horizontal.htm P/N RG-200PRT $87.98 I have them installed on my O-200. So far so good. About 100 hrs on them and no leaks. They can be installed without unbolting the cylinders. You just need to remove the rockers, slide the push rods out and cut the current tubes off with a hacksaw. It helps to have the intake tubes and exhaust removed to give you room to work. I'm happy with the results, but don't think I would do it again. It is close to the same about of work as pulling the cylinders and going with the stock gaskets. But $350 more money! Don't forget to replace the lifter cover gaskets while your at it. I would recommend 'Real Gasket Corp' for their silicone valve and lifter cover gaskets. Good luck. Dan N93805

Since this is a first time for me I would benefit from advice from those who have gone before me. I searching on this subject I came across an old note talking about a $75 a cylinder kit to fix the problem correctly. Since I have about $30 total tied up in my solution I obviously maybe missing something here. Help will be welcomed. MacMcMahon N94184 VKX Friendly, MD
