Spiffy240 · 02-08-2013, 07:15 AM

Have has numerous problems with BMC's for my 30mm 300zx swap (front and rear with new seal kit couple years ago and no leaking from calipers or spl lines).

I got a 17/16 BMC a while back and it leaked right from the start... The leaking came from where the reservoir meets the BMC. If you tilt the BMC slightly, you see the bubbles coming out from the gasket area.

HERE IS THE ISSUE! I replaced the 2 gaskets with brand new ones for the bmc and got the appropriate ones (NABCO 17/16) and its STILL LEAKING from the same area. I used zip ties for the time being to help press the reservoir onto the seals to slow the leaking.

Anyone got a suggestion?

Thanks!
