Pressure valve

i have replaced the master cyclinder and have disc brakes so i have a inline 2psi pressure valve. ? is this master cyclinder is not like the stock one with the screw in pressure valve on the front port that i had to take out when i swapped discs so does this one have one inturnal or not? do i need to do anythind special or am i good to go with what i have?

 

I have been looking into brake stuff lately.. from what I understand. When swapping to disc brake up front, you will need to make changes in your brake system. Depending on what you did or want to do.. there are diffrent changes needed. Basically, you need a 2 lb RPV for disc brakes, however.. you will not need this 2 lb RPV if you mounted the master cylinder higher than your calipers.. like your firewall. But, if you mounted it under the floor.. it'll be good to have the 2 lb RPV. I dont know what master cylinder you swapped in.. but you need to figure out if it has built in RPV's or not. Drum brakes need 10 lb RPV's regardless where the master cylinder is mounted. Also one more thing.. it is recommended to have a metering valve for your front disc brakes if you have drums in the rear. This metering valve does some kind of balancing job, and it plumbs in where your front brake line splits to left and right disc brake calipers. If you had 4 wheel disc brakes, this metering valve wouldnt be needed. Another thing.. to balance your brake system.. install an adjustable proportional valve in the rear brake line.. as you want more braking power to the front, and less in the rear.

 

You definitely need to know if you have a 10lb RPV the MC for the front discs. At 10 lbs. they'll be dragging quite a bit. On the Jeep MC, you just remove the front brake fitting and it's behind that, in the MC. I used a sheet metal screw to thread into it and pulled it out with pliers.

 

i have a replacement mc form my flaps. when i look into the port is the pressure valve the tapered cone that the line meshes against of not. just need to know before i start pulling things apart.

 

As I recall, you pull out thecone shaped fitting and there is a spring loaded valve behind it. At least it's that way on the stock Jeep MC I worked on.

 

yea, i got it out today, i just popped right out very simple. i have searched around locally and cant find a rpv so i guess ill have to order one from summit!
