Been working as a Mechanic for 40 years and lucky with Toyota first the first jobs I learn was Brake flushing on Toyota long before any other Dealership was doing this schedule maintenance. Thank you Toyota for the education and brake saving
Glad you're ok. This kind of event, and it's just my OCD, would have me checking the brake fluid every day to see if the issue returned. I've lost power booster, and on another occasion, a brake line. Never a good time. Glad it's back on the road, looking forward to the house update ~ Chuck
If it were me that brake master cylinder and related parts would go right in the garbage I would even replace it with something stock GM at this point. I would get all that mixed brake fluid out of there. What a horrible situation
I couldn’t agree more. I mentioned the same thing before I saw your comment. Brakes are definitely a thing that should be function over form and that brake system looks way overly-complicated and awfully jenky. It seems like there’s too much that can go wrong there unnecessarily and I wouldn’t trust it. I’d go with a factory-style vacuum booster and master cylinder all day long over that junk.
I'm going to call you Lane Meyer with your black '67 Camaro. He had an RS/SS though. Lane and his french girlfriend restored it in an afternoon in his driveway. I'm about 5 minutes from the Roadster Shop here in northern Illinois.. There are always some cool cars in the parking lot. We grew up driving cars like this ('68 Camaro). Not nearly as fast, but all the drama. We never cared about brakes. We'd just wait for the brake lines to rust out and then fix it. We got really good at using the engine braking while downshifting. You're right about DOT 4. I never mess with it on a street car. You get a little higher boiling point which is important for the track, but it is more hygroscopic and you have to change it much more often. I don't think that fluid has been changed in a long while.
Seems like the air reservoir diaphragm is punctured. The air can't have direct contact with the fluid because of compressed air have a lot of moisture and will contaminate the brake fluid with water (the possible source of algae in the fluid container)
Basic physics. Brakes under pressure. Pressure directly proportional to heat. Heat then cooling when parked forms condensation/water. Sealed container develops accumulated condensation. Hence the regular brake fluid replacement to avoid water and bacteria in the brake system.
That accumulator looks very similar to the one in my P38. They give up eventually and the brakes don’t operate properly when you initially start the car.
DON'T TAKE ANY CHANGES. That whole system need to be disassembled, cleaned and flushed and put back together. It's one thing to make the vehicle run, but without any brakes you 100% at risk to injuring yourself or someone else. Really not worth the gamble. Be safe.....
Well….thats the breaks……..be careful man the world still needs your insights! That RR MERLIN shirt is very nice, take it from me an old Mustang driver!👍🏼👍🏼
I'm glad that at least you understand that we're fortunate to live in the days where cars are relatively bulletproof in regards to the simple things. Also glad you didn't have a bad accident because of brake failure.
I so wish I had the calm nature that JR has. He's always smiling even covered in brake fluid. No cursing nothing ruins his day. I strive everyday for that peace. But im just not built that way. 😃
I was in Taipei airport in 2006 when they rolled the first Dreamlifter out of the hanger. It was a big WTF moment. It was only a few weeks later when I saw it in a magazine I realised what it was. Haven't seen one since.
I couldn’t agree more. It looks way overly-complicated. If that were my car, I’d rip all that crap out and put a factory booster and master cylinder back on it. I wouldn’t trust that system on there now, too many points of failure for me to trust it, plus you can see that the brake fluid is causing a chemical reaction with that billet reservoir.
@@brian5o I agree. I just wrote something similar to this. All that stuff beyond the wheels would go right in the garbage. I figure even stock GM parts at this point would be better in fact, maybe even Superior
You should find a rubber place that sells hoses where they may also have rubber sheets, I have a place in Sacramento that can cut out gaskets if you bring the old one in…
that is why you have to change that water hungry brake fluid every 24 months even if you do not use it. now you have learned that lesson why it is important not to skip it when servicing the car.
In spring 1979 I was getting my 65' Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible running after sitting in garage all winter. I was in high school. The engine didn't want to stay running with the old gas so I put it in reverse and punched the accelerator. It flew out of the garage and I put my foot on the brake that went to the floor. Shot down the driveway, across the road into the neighbors drive and I grabbed the hand emergency brake pulling with all my might as I went on top of their giant bushes taking the rear wheels off the ground. I had been under the car before starting it and there was no brake fluid leak and I had topped it off before parking it last Fall. What I didn't know was my Dad had needed brake fluid for his car that winter and used a turkey baster to suck it out then forgot to tell me or put some back in. That was a lesson I pass on anytime I can. If it has been sitting, check EVERY fluid. So glad there wasn't a car coming down the road at that moment.
LoL- my "Kick-around," putt-putt Chryslerati TC has the accumulator set up on the TEVES ABS brake system. It works really, really well- you must flush the entire system every 2 years without fail
It makes a good story if you survive. I grew up driving a 42 Jeep, 41 Power Wagon, and my Dart. The master cylinders would blow the seal or the brakes would be way out of adjustment so you had to pump them just to get pressure, plus tiny manual drums. My 95 Neon coupe kept blowing the rear wheel cylinders and I'd hit it and they'd go to the floor. Drove it home very gently and finally had to use the emergency and brake to stop. I pulled the drum and managed to wiggle out the cylinder without completely tearing the brake shoes etc out and had it bled and working in like half an hour.
I as well, coming to stop light in my G20 Van my front brake line burst causing complete failure (rears had a leak so those were already dead), honked my way through the intersection and once through i was able to use the e-brake to slow down and go into a parking lot. out of every car i ever owned, Every GM basically had the brake lines completely go out (2 chevy cavaliers, G20 Van, Buick Lesabre, 2 chevy celebritys) pretty much if it was from GM and was a steel line under the car, it was a timebomb
Luckily being on the west coast we don't get the nasty rust that rots brake lines. I have had to replace the rubber hoses on a few cars before. Pretty sure I did the ones on the front of my Jeep as they were cracked and seeping when I got it in ancient times ago.
and that is why you dont buy a car without a handbrake, and then these stupid manufacturers have deleted from all their cars and replaced it with a parking tab -_-'
That's gonna need a full heat shield. The ceramic coating only reduces the outer temp of the manifold/header, so you're still cooking the fluid--only slower. Gah! You're running it on E85 😪 "It just eats gasoline." Well, put some in it then! The mileage must be in single digits on corn alcohol.
No brakes...been there. Back in the 90s I was in Montreal driving a Ford Aeorstar AWD with the 4.0 L engine, and I could see a stop light a bit ahead of me turning yellow, so I started on the brakes to slow down, and heard a clunk, and suddenly had no brakes. I quickly shifted down to first gear, and realized that I wasn't going to be slow enough to stop, and purposely curbed it to slow it down. That curbing worked well! I slowed down enough to pull into a parking lot just before the light and roll to a stop. Even now retelling the story, I can feel my pulse spinning up....
You can make them handle good for way less money then you said I assume you were including the costs of rebuilding a whole car because if you have a nice specimen just doing the the shocks and arms and all the jazz isn’t overwhelming pricey
What kind of fluid is supposed to be in the boost resovoior? It doesn't look like brake fluid and probably contamined the middle resovior. As gross as it is, it might be a good idea to replace it with a GM master and a vacuum booster.
about the brake master cylinder lid, you know so many or maybe they or your father has a milling machine. so have a groove milled around the lid so you can put an o-ring times 3 so that each container is closed. you should be able to do that easily :-)
I suspect the master cylinder is too close to the headers, causing the fluid to overheat, cook, and boil. perhaps shielding or ceramic coating the headers might help?
On my 2001 HD Fatboy, I put in DOT5, and DOT 5 keeps its integrity better than DOT 4. In fact, since HD went to ABS breaks they only use DOT4 now and it they must remind HD owners of the newer bikes that they should flush the DOT4 on a regular basis. Every time I change my brake pads, I check the fluid and it's always clean.
I remember those good old days, my big block 67 Z28 got 10 gals. to the mile. Pull into gas station, fill it up. Drive around the block fill it a again, and I thought 60 cents a gallon was a lot of money. SHIT!!!
Possible copper contamination and or water. ''Copper is also another contaminating element for brake fluid. The metal often comes from the brake lines or hoses that carry the fluid and serves to protect the fluid against rusting. Over time, some of the linings can chip off and become a part of the fluid. This can leave your hoses vulnerable to corrosion.''
I used to live near enough Boeing the Dream Lifter would fly over my place nearly every night around 2 or 4 am. It was just off the runway so it was gaining altitude...when they pilots were directly over me it was incredibly loud, if the pilots were just to the side it wasn't too bad.
You almost needed to deinstall that brake cylinder and put it in your parts cleaner.... Also, I can't tell you how many perfectly round spots with zero paint I've created on my early cars without knowing it....ahhh, brake fluid....
the reason most old cars handle crappy is because most people dont replace or rebuild the suspension components or bushings. the first gen camaros raced trans am, and handled great.
I've got a real nice brake fluid flush machine at the shop. Get with grimes and see if you can use it. If so I'm sure he would hang out up there after hours or something.
I remember as a child my mom pulled off the highway to a store that was along the highway. my mom didn't stop and drove fast thru the parking out and back out the other side and us kids were like mom why didn't you stop. Then she said she had no brakes. one of the calipers in the front sprung a leak. She drove it home without breaks and down shifted the automatic going down hills and slowed way down but didn't stop for the stop signs and got it home. They were all country dirt roads besides the highway. Heck to this day even thou those roads are now all paved people think those stop signs are optional. most people just slow down and keep going some don't even slow down if you can see that no one is coming up the other road.
Happened to me when I was 16 and driving on a busy road. I tried to stop at a stop light, but no brakes! I’m about to get hit by a bus when I started downshifting, and thought to use my park brake! It was a bit scary, but I stopped!
That is all after market brake system and it's probably made in China or Taiwan , original brake Master cylinder works just fine for years on end , not just when you take it out now and then
A car built today won’t be around in 50 years. When that old Camaro was new, it was pretty reliable too. Lesson learned: maybe I should check my fluids once every five years.
Sounds like that pump is bad and potentially leaking water into the brake fluid or it’s had silicon fluid added. But that pump definitely sounds much louder than I’ve heard them.
You cannot argue the fact that if you had left the braking system stock, you would have working brakes. Old cars fail when you add needless new parts that are not well made.
That back reservoir looked like the brownie in a Hungry Man.
Speak truth! Kids today don't know!
That isn't a master cylinder. It looks more like a grease trap at a Chinese restaurant.
Time to add branded soft fender covers to your merch, and to your routine... I winced when you were dealing with DOT3 without protecting the paint 😬
Silicone brakefluid mixed with normal brakefluid.
Yep. I was thinking that also.
same thought. if not designed for it I'd be concerned about rubber components in system. wonder if that is the "gunk" he's seeing.
Where are your fender covers? Brake fluid and paint don't mix good
Depends on the fluid. DOT5 isn't dangerous for paint.
Gives new meaning to "Watch JR Go" doesn't it?

This looks very much like the 1990+ Jaguar XJ40 Teves brake system pump. From memory, the Pontiac 6000 and some Saab had it too.

17" rallys look nice. Maybe you should have stuck with an off the shelf master cylinder.

Interesting brake system. I doubt the gasket is a machined rubber piece but instead it's probably the metal gasket mold that was machined.

By the way, where's that bad ass silver Camaro that you got from your body?
Why don't you have or use a fender cover when working on this car? Great looking car.
I'd swap the master cylinder set up for something better, and keep that custom piece for when you sell it.
...limped it back home... The real question is were you able to get some tots?
That's what's nagging at me, too. We need to know if they made it to Sonic!

Good Morning John Ross
Where we're going we dont need brakes.
My older cars have always lasted longer than my newer cars. Definitely much much easier and faster to fix when needed as well.
❤ I Just Love That Camaro! 🔥❤️
Maybe put a Wilwood master cylinder on it so you can acquire parts easily.
That pump looks like the same one from my old 4 runner
What happened to the other one that needed a whole new body? Did you get rid of it or are you gonna repair it already?
Oh I have it 💯

Be careful! Safety squints are no match for fluids!
