#1 Reserve tank check valve problem

Post by lyons » Wed Aug 24, 2011 3:57 pm

Car is 3.8 and still has original Kelsey Haynes brake booster.

Brakes are ok on first application but after that ???

No leaks found in plumbing, so I have narrowed in on the check valve on the top of the reserve tank.

Problem is I have 2 check valves that look in good condition - so how do you check that a check valve is working ?

Wisdom says that suck and blow should prove everything is working as it is only a one way valve. Is this correct ?
