Jack, how about something liquid like what you soak the little
bits of felt in for the rear seal? I'd flow a few drops in on each
tubeand let them dry overnight, then turn the head upside down and
flow it on the cylinder side then squirt abit around the exterior
where the tubes enter the head. Perhaps you may get a bit of
capillary action to draw the sealer in. You may try thinning it a
bit with denatured alcohol to help the process.
I the tubes on my `4's engine don't leak. But this seems as good
an idea as any...
