RallySnake, Good Idea, I was thinking about running a drain tube from the pushrod boot straight down to the outside bottom of the car. Because if it leaks now the paint is gone. This is a small leak. I cannot tell from the reservoir level , but when I removed the control box cover I saw the damage. White Post Restorations can put a brass sleeve liner in the cylinder housing. When I get the time to get the old one off and see what Tilton says. I sorta like the steel ones at CNC's. I just cannot see the aluminum cylinders lasting as long as steel. May be fine for a year or two or a race car getting carefull attention after every race. My Winston Cup friend at Roush/ Yates that they rebuild them after 3-5 races but they are not leaking when they rebuild them.

Bob, I was pretty thorough on the flush from the reservior through the new lines to the 3/4" MC but, sometimes, "if it can happen it will happen", Thanks
