The one way valves are on sensor lines not on the brake lines themselves. the brake lines are open otherwise we would not be able to bleed them or change 100% of the fluid. The one way valves are muddying the water.
We all know that if you compress the brake cylinders too much the fluid will overflow the reservoir.
I am still trying to understand why no free play in the brake system would cause a slow brake lock up as the fluid warmed and expanded. It is mentioned but I cannot wrap my feeble brain around it.
That ABS system can get air in it and it is cleared using the dealers computer or sometimes by getting the ABS system working by braking on a gravel road and bleeding the brakes. I do have SS brake lines and changing out the MC did not change anything.
I see nobody else has anything worthwhile to add, so no interest I guess.
People disagreed with what I said but never offered a different opinion.
