Are the Snap Rings Required for C85 Pushrod Sockets?

Post by jimboe »

I’m helping my IA install the Real Gasket Pushrod Seal Kit in my C85 and noticed there aren’t any of the snap rings installed to retain the pushrod sockets.

My IA is out of the country on vacation for a couple weeks and I can’t reach him.

Are those snap rings required? I read the A65 doesn’t have them.

Thanks.

I don't see any snap rings in the parts catalog and not quite sure what you are looking for but I don't recall any snap rings in tappet body, hydraulic unit, cup, or pushrod chain.
