My CSI was CAKED! Needed a jackhammer to clean it. :crazy1:

Only if there's something wrong with it.

This I know, nonetheless, every set of Steel Braided hoses I've seen, has recommended using Dot 4. Also many brands use teflon and kevlar, not just plain rubber.

There is a need for DOT 4, as every set of steel braided lines I've seen specifies using it. I use it in mine. Dot 5 however, is not to be used with ABS systems.

Standard rubber, and IIRC you can't use the newer style, because they mount differently on the subframe.

Easy off oven cleaner! Try it!

Yeah, I had to move mine. It's cool though, the smaller size battery I'm using, gives me just enough space to sit it beside it. You can just glimpse it in my build thread video.

Oh no, wouldn't that make his car an autozone economy race car?:biglaugh:

That's ridiculous. The pistons in any hydraulic brake caliper will self adjust to the correct clearance. How do you think they compensate for pad and rotor wear? A slightly thinner rotor will not cause a problem like this. It's definitely air in the system.

Wasn't specifically saying you did something wrong, just pointing out the things I could think of that might cause the problem.

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Head gasket defective maybe, improper torque, poor head and/or block prep. I didn't see any mention of what type of fasteners you used, but if you reused the stock bolts, they could be junk. Get ARP's if you don't have them.

^ +1 My stainless steel DP is fine, not divorced, but it works great. What your issue with SS?

Hows it going? Did you get the e-mail I sent?

Be safe, remove any rivet that's at all questionable when you install a new MLS gasket.

you have to remove all of them to clean the viton from the inner layers. When reinstalling, the guide pins do a good job of keeping the layers aligned. At least it worked in my case.

Try oven cleaner. Worked for me.

I've had success mig welding steel to cast iron in the past. Based on that, I thought it was worth mentioning.

What kind of drugs are you on?

Your PPS valve may be bad. Again, never heard of that brand of tire, and that could be the problem, or a combination of the two possibilities.
