ROFL....

Reminds me of my dad and the tube of p-tex that he left in a cylinder while reassembling a triumph TR-3 and discovered the problem after he had the head back on and was looking for it. Best part was that his dad watched him do it and when my father finally asked him if he had seen the tube of p-tex he calmly said that you might want to check inside cylinder 3...

My only gaff lately was not realizing that the Akibono brakes have two bleeder valves on each caliper... Wasted a lot of Motul trying to "bleed all the air" out of the system...

Something similar happened to me on my Z32. I was bleeding the clutch and could not get any pressure to build up. I replaced the slave cylinder, changed the line for an SS one and after like 4 bottles of fluid.... nothing. I gave up and then discovered, after driving quite a few miles with low pressure on the system, that there was another bleed valve on the engine bay besides the ones on the master and slave cylinders..
