OK, here's one for anybody who knows brakes. I did a completely new brake setup on my truck. I got a master cylinder and some lines from Speedway. There catalog says to use RPV valves when there is a master under the floor(like mine). So after all the fittings, and tee's, and hoses, the only leaks i have are on BOTH of these RPV valves. They seem to fit nice with the metal line fittings, but when you pump the brakes a few times and build up pressure, they start to drip! What the hell is up with these things? I have a buddy who was using them and his brakes were dragging real bad untill he took the valves off and now they work great. Are these little parts just ******** or what? Any input would be great. Rick
maybe replace them with br*** unions, and see how the brakes work...my guess is you won't have too much trouble.
Check and see if you have 1/8 National Pipe thread and not 3/8 thread. the tighter you get them the tighter the seal. Use liquid teflon and make sure u do not get it inside. Sounds like buddy installed them backwards or used the wrong poundage. dso
