John, I used -12 and the low profile fitting on the valve cover is an Earls piece. The hose and 45 is a jegs brand. Don't mix brands in pressure applications. Make sure the valve cover fittings are shrouded and not at the front or back of the cover. I've seen to many guys make that mistake. Where is your oil under accel and braking? This set up has worked fantastic.
Rich, I leave the valve off on the street. It's always charged with 3 qts of oil and 6 psi on the dry side of the piston. It takes around 5 seconds to discharge all the oil. I will from time to time mix up the oil to remove the moisture. I usually open the valve slowly with the engine running. I've got a road race pan on the engine so it's just insurance on the race track. It's 3 extra qts of cooling capacity as well.
Matt, I looked at them and they seem OK. I'll double check them. The varishocks had mild seapage. My LF DSE had seapage while the RF is dry. 5k and a dozen races. Seems pretty par for the course. Looking forward to some reasonable spring rates!
Ed, these are the black anodized twist machine braces. Very happy with them from fitment to build quality.
