2 questions....

1- my master-cylinder came with the proportioning valve, and lines attached, instead of going through the crap of trying to break the lines free without damage, can i bench bleed the m/c, with the proportioning valve still attached?

2- i am also going with a linelock, should i bench bleed with the hole in the bottom of the m/c plugged or unplugged?

thanks guys...

What sort of new M/C did you buy that has a Prop Valve attached?

I am still trying to figure out why there is a Prop Valve attached to a Brand New M/C, anyways if you use line wrenches you will not damage anything.

Just make sure the "new" Prop Valve is for your Style car as it is designed for a specific vehicle.
