Re: TOP END REFINISHING
Polyglass / Gloss Red mix on the TB; 1st coat cured.
recipe for oil base can = 2 part polyglass resin HALF STRENGTH MEK HARDENER ... 5 drops MEK (as opposed to 10) per ounce polyglass resin ; you can go 4 drops, but cure time seems exponential as you reduce MEK 2 parts paint thinner 5 parts paint The thinner mix allows laying flat; no brush strokes or sags. Half strength hardener allows longer working time, AND harder finish (increased cure time however) You HAVE to use a quality paintbru$h from arts & crafts store. Cheapies lose bristles... and you absolutely HAVE to allow TOTAL cure before second coat - second coat too early will prevent 1st coat cure vapors from escaping, and will cause bubbling / poor bond. Some say this is what happens in Detroit with peeled paint...

Re: TOP END REFINISHING
Great job....and nice, clear, detailed large photos
 I am referencing several posts in -Solutions- if for no other reason (but there are many reasons)...the clarity of the photos. Will be interesting how the paint scheme looks once put back together

So let's try again; the RIGHT way. Pull the D side rail; oil the rail crossover D side inlet / outlet  fit (I don't know how far I thought I was gonna' go, with that screw in place - where's Houdini when ya' need him? ) AND KEEP YER GRUBBY FINGERS OFF OF THE CLEAN RAIL / INJ PORTS!  drive  clip

Re: TOP END REFINISHING
tighten clip
 grease on rail holddown bolts  Will the same type connector in here, fit inside the CC vent crossover tube, if I cut the tube where I put the clamp?

Re: TOP END REFINISHING
I don't think so as the CC tube is larger in inside diameter I think. Jerry's has a new CC pipe however its a bit pricey. I was thinking that maybe you could wiggle a slightly smaller PVC pipe or something similar through the hose up to the defect and then clamp it. Maybe not but I tend to analyze why parts like that fail since there isn't a lot of pressure etc on them. Got to be oil and heat breakdown or friction on a adjacent part. High temp RTV might work too if allowed to setup properly.
