I saw this post Franke as I was re-readin' the whole thread. WOW. What ignorance I showed early on there...

And I saw my clamp on the CC crossover tube, thinking it looks a little tight, then I saw your post. I don't know how I'd cut it and make a stint of any sort???

And Cliff; the PCV cap REALLY swelled in the Trans-X. It will get non-hardening RTV, on the valve sides of course, not IN the cap, so as not to block the valves...
