Don't forget to make sure the little vent hole in the cap is clear. Probably on a corner of one of faces of the square.
Owen,
That's the next step. After I put the plug in, I looked again at the Relief Port drawing that HH posted, and noticed a little "dot" on the side of the plug and wondered, hmmm. Thanks for confirming that.
Since a radiator cap cured my "cooling system" problem, wouldn't it be interesting if some maintenance on the MC cap "cured" my brake problem. It's the little things, I guess.
Fun to look at all the engineering details and realize that good intentions were there, but they depended on careful maintenance.
Brian, the Compensator Valve will be the step after cleaning up the vent on the plug, which, for those who don't know, is on the side of the square "nut" on the top of the plug. I know the rest of it is clean, and yes, the plug does not seem to have any moving parts.
Thanks All
BTW, I have found that a 7/8" 12-point socket will fit on the plug to R&R it, if it is not too tight to remove. Fortunately, mine is all loosened up. If the socket slips when you try to take the plug out, it is better to get down there with a knuckle-bustin open end wrench. With the socket and a long extension, it's a piece o' cake.
