YOU SHOULD FIX IT!

Why are we yelling? ; )

You sure it's a push rod tube cover, and not a rocker box? Rocker box would be better news, it would mean you don't have to pull the head.

Pulling the head isn't that much more of a big deal, but it gets a little more expensive with gaskets. On the upside, you can inspect your crank and at least one piston while its apart.

Bill, do you have to pull the head? I thought it was just the rocker box..

I thought it was the head... the pushrod tube sits into the bottom of an overhang on the head. But I could easily be wrong.

You don't have to pull the head - you DO have to remove the pushrod -

Not even the whole rocker box - just unbolt the rockers arm assemblies themselves and the pushrod will lift right out.
