I had the same problem with the Herald engine that uses the same design of 
pushrod tubes.  I tried some green lock-tite which helped but what cured it was 
reflaring the tubes.  I used an old, small drill chuck that fit inside of the 
flare and tapped repeatedly with a hammer.  

I had removed the head so I did both sides but you could try doing it on one 
side with the head still installed on the car with the pushrods removed.
