Jack is taken care of on push rod tubes, thanks to Barry Munson.
FYI, here is some information that Jack gathered on the tubes he had.
Thanks to everyone, once again.

> Thanks Joe. I contacted Barry, and it sounds like he has a set of the steel
push rod tubes, which he is willing to send to me. I appreciate all the
offers. For your information, the dimensions my machinist gave me are:

way would the aluminum tubes press into the head.

was .708 - even worse! I'm not sure where the spec for these came from, but
there is no way a thin wall aluminum tube will press into a hole with .012
interference fit.
