Is anyone running a residual valve on their brake systems? I'm having some pedal bleed down. Have to pump pedal after a bit. Thinking I might need a residual valves. 7/8 Willwood master cylinder was stoptech brakes.

Typically, as long as the master cylinder is higher than the brake calipers, when you have some pedal bleed down, there is some air in the system. Using a power bleeder that pushes the fluid & air out of the lines & back in the master cylinder reservoir is the best way to fix it. If you try & just can't get it, running 2# residual valves is a fix. Not ideal, as it it creates a little drag in the brakes.
Awesome will try the power bleeder.
Thanks Ron
