> I am having a problem with pressure building up in the brake system.
>
> Up to this point I have:
> -rebuilt the master cylinders for the brake and clutch
> -bled the system (I don't remember how many times)
> -am using Silicone Dot 5 brake fluid
> -every thing in the system is new or rebuilt. (lines, cylinders, etc.)
> -clutch is working fine!
>
> Explanation on what is happening:
> When I first put every thing back together and bled the brakes the brake
> closest to the five way connector would stay on. I removed the restrictor
> valve feeding the five way connector and reversed the spring and valve set
> up inside. I don't know which way is the correct way the spring and valve
> should be installed, however the way I had it installed it was acting like
> a check valve. Now when I pump up the petal the brake doesn't lock up. I
> thought the problem was repaired. NOT!!!
> I took the car out for a test drive and the brake system starts building
up
> pressure until the brake lights and brakes are fully on and the car over
> heats and will not move. If I let it sit,
> eventually the pressure will release and the car will roll. I don't know
if
> the brakes will build up pressure, if I don't use them, because I live on
a
> hill side and need to use the brakes. Point is if I could just get in the
> car and drive without touching the brakes will they build up pressure??
>
> Well this is the dilemma! Any-one ever had this problem! I would like to
> know what the solution might be. Thanks
