As I recall, Continental came up with their own spring-loaded pushrod tubes, modeled on the Real Gasket design. They are available for certified engines, but they are not drop-in replacements like Real Gaskets. Instead, I think the cylinder head has a different machining to accept the top of the tube. I thought the mounting block bolted to the crankcase was different, too. [edit: looking at the pictures again I can see the special mounting blocks are included with this set. So the only question remains is what needs to be done to the cylinder head, and is it an ‘easy’ modification?]
I remember looking into it when I had my O-200 overhauled, but I opted for Millenium cylinders instead of Continental and so didn’t/couldn’t use the Continental setup.
PS - this is the same design used on the SkyCatcher engine.
