10 Short Silicone Pushrod Tube Seals – Fiat 500 N/D/F/L

Silicone pushrod tube seals: the solution for classic models

Keeping the engine clean and leak-free is essential for every enthusiast, and these silicone pushrod tube seals are designed specifically for this purpose. Specifically studied for the classic versions of the Fiat 500 N, D, F, and L, these components represent an indispensable technical upgrade compared to old rubber gaskets. In fact, silicone offers superior thermal resistance, maintaining the elasticity needed to perfectly seal the ducts even after long engine heating cycles. Consequently, you can say goodbye to the annoying oil seepage that often stains the crankcase and the garage floor.

Why choose the short silicone version?

The distinctiveness of this kit lies in the "short" measurement, ideal for the original pushrod tubes of the early models in the Fiat 500 range. Many restorers choose these silicone pushrod tube seals because, unlike traditional black rubber, this material does not undergo the process of crystallization. While standard spare parts tend to become hard and brittle due to the high temperatures of the cylinder head, silicone maintains constant flexibility. Furthermore, the softness of the material allows it to compensate for any slight irregularities on the metal contact surfaces, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable watertight seal over time.

Technical specifications and kit advantages

The set, carefully selected by 500Mania, includes 10 pieces to offer complete coverage during the overhaul of the pushrod tubes. These silicone pushrod tube seals are totally resistant to the corrosive action of modern engine oils and their chemical additives. Therefore, installing this kit is strongly recommended during every professional restoration to ensure that the engine bay remains impeccable during rallies and shows. In conclusion, choosing silicone means investing in a component that drastically reduces the need for future maintenance. For optimal results, we recommend thoroughly degreasing the tubes and seats before proceeding with the placement of the new silicone pushrod tube seals.
