Another Grizzly Discovery
Earlier in my project, I was doing the roller rocker install and noticed brake fluid behind MC :eek:
Damn, another part needed :smash:
Well, after removal and draining fluid from resevoir, this is what I saw :eek:
I'm sure that that crap was helpful in killing the MC. Where it comes from I don't know. The car was maintained by G.M. before my purchase, so that could have been part of the problem :jester
Looks better when clean :D
I bought a rebuilt MC and the exterior finish was crap due to hot tanking or whatever. Had them bring in another one and it was worse. :smash:
Of course I couldn't leave the blotchy finish so I painted it the same yellow as the top of motor :D :eek:
Now to flush the whole damn system :smash:
:cheers: :seeya

Re: Another Grizzly Discovery (AGENT 86)
I had the same gunk. So when I replaced the MC I cleaned the cups, totally bled the system over and over and after about 4 months that black crap started to come back.
So now I suck it out with a baster about once a month. The crud comes out pretty easy and I replace the fluid. Never ending process I think.
