Subject: Re: 87 vett destroying clutch master cylinders by bogus on 2012/4/5 21:23:12 Fluid turning black could have been caused by heat... could have been caused by a separate moisture source contaminating it... or the rubber seals were getting cooked by the heat. It is never a bad idea to protect something like this from heat. No question at all. The factory line for my system runs by the left cat, and there is a tab there that retains it. Every time I do an O/C, I check that tab.... I had a line one time fail when it rubbed against the heat shield and blew out! Happened twice, actually. And both times, it was installed by the same jack off. The 2nd time, I was in a pinch, pinned it down to the tang and the teflon core somehow healed itself. Lasted 3 more years that way... most odd. |
