A question for any forum members with this setup. I have just completed the extensive tune up that includes checking the valve lash. On an unmodified Hemi car, this requires removing the master cylinder / booster assembly for access. Every time I have completed this service, now for the 5th time since I have owned the car, I have never had to bleed the brakes after re-assembly. Since the brake lines are opened at the master cylinder for removal, I would expect air ingress, but have never experienced any. Now this system was completely refreshed, new lines and components and filled with Dot 5 silicone fluid 40 years ago when the car was initially restored. I don't mind not having to bleed the brakes, especially with the expensive silicone fluid, but I cannot take it for granted. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.
