I have never had a piece of rubber swell up. In fact silicone is a rubber
preservative, so your rubber parts should last longer. If the rubber came
into
contact with hydrocarbons like: oil, solvent etc, that is what caused the
swelling.>>
Silicone WORKS. If it doesn't then, like Rod says "something else is wrong".
It has work for me in all kinds of "vintage" race cars. Formula cars, Minis,
various small-medium bore production cars.
Most people with big, fast cars use AP550 or 650 and swear by it. They bleed
every day or every session. But.... I still swear by silicone in my race cars.
With silicone, once you get the air out you don't bleed until you sense a
problem. We get nice hard pedals with real nice feel. If you don't get that
then don't blame the fluid.
