Glenn, I'm glad you are YOU  and not some thin skinned Walrus!  gggg

The pushrod tube are held  / compressed by the  guide plates...that are held 
by the lower  headnuts/ rocker studs....

Sounds like Cash has some  / all in backwards?...or extra "O-rings"  
underneath them...as I recall the PR's will not go thru a reversed plate?
