Thanks all for the input.... Gonna Start with the simple and work my way out.... JB Weld it is for now ....I don't really want to tear it apart if I don't have to ...
Cheers
Here is a weird one...can't say I have seen this before. Parked the car a month ago for pending brake booster rebuild...and a couple weeks later noticed a big puddle under diff. it has continued to leak since. Assumed I screwed up putting one of the seals in (only changed side seals and big...
I love my 38s.... But I do have a 3.5 with headers and my cars more of a driver so I am not one of those that has to have factory parts on my car.. On this site your gonna get weber lovers and haters...Personally new webers vs 40+ year old zeniths is one reason I went with the webers (as well...
Got side tracked....my damn 540 alternator died...(its water cooled so PITA to change...) I did install a new check valve in the coupe but only drove around the neighborhood so I haven't got it hot enough to check to see if it makes a difference. Will update soon...got the vacuum tester friday...
Thanks Gary
I haven't jacked the car up when it happens but I have pushed the car back and forth in neutral and it seems to roll free...but I will jack it up and give them a spin to verify. The plan was to change hoses if I had to crack the system open...which may be sooner than later.
Thanks Don but I found one I had purchased a while ago..(not as cool looking as the original though). I installed it tonight and will further test this week...
And Bluecoupe ... No loss of brake fluid and no white smoke... and no sign of fluid being sucked through.... Thanks for the input...
Started just now cold...every thing back to normal...big whooosh when pulling the hose this time after a very short drive.... . Also no blueing on the rotors. Crazy...I just ordered a tester and will test when hot..
Thanks Don
Took the car on an extended run this morning and noticed the pedal got harder as the car got hotter, after some stop and go and temp went to its highest the pedal effort went way up and the travel decreased. Got home and pulled hose off the valve on the engine side no whooshing sound...
Might be thinking how nice it would be to not be getting pelted with rocks and chunks of rubber, or what might happen in a rollover.. I got pelted hard one time driving a formula car....scared the heck out of me..
Thanks guys
In answer to the following:
"When was the last time you fully bled your brakes replacing all fluid? How old are your flexible brake hoses at each caliper?"
Have not done full brake flush but that is something I will be doing. Not sure thats where the problem is as...
Looked in the archives and nothing quite matches...So this started a couple of months ago and I got busy and haven't figured out whats going on... I get int he car when cold and the brakes act normal..pedal effort normal, pedal travel normal. After driving and parking the car if I get back...
Hats off to the Good Dog Productions crew and you for another great race and video ! Thanks again for allowing us to vicariously experience your race weekends. Still bummed no one stepped up to sponsor Coronado this year.
I am sure it's all relative but was told years ago that the idea behind the softer OEM compound (and thus more dust prone) pads was that they were easier on the rotors ....
Some interesting yak regarding the various compounds here...
