If you are using the 1972 T100 parts book I linked for you in this post, neither the drawing nor the parts list showing the pushrod tubes and seals is complete or correct. :( For the pushrod tubes seals and other parts, I advise you to use the 1973 TR5T parts book, it shows/lists the same parts as the 1972 T100 parts book but also two additional parts for each pushrod tube.

In addition, I advise:-

. Use "71-1283 "O" ring, push rod cover tube" at the bottom of the pushrod tubes, in place of the listed 70-7310. The two O rings are the same size, 71-1283 is made of better material than 70-7310.

. As well as the listed 70-3547 seals, order two of 70-4752; these are the same inside and outside diameters but, where 70-3547 is approximately 1/10-inch thick, 70-4752 is approximately 1/8-inch thick. It is important that, whichever seal thickness is used, it is compressed by only 0.020-inch to 0.030-inch when the cylinder head bolts are torqued; having the two thicknesses of seal will allow you use whichever is most suitable.
