"it works for me"
"it works for me" was used in the discussion of teflon tape or not in brake fittings. I read that just after a poster saying "being shot down" which may have referred to my comment on carb #3 fire about the simple task of checking float bowl, gas line leak, and jet assembly as being a first check before doing serious engine innards analysis as suggested by the poster.
Short of a true statistical analysis of controlled tests, many of these controversies including what type of brake fluid to use much less flushing every 2 years are simply our reporting on our experiences. 4 UK oldie cars for over 20 years and have never changed brake fluid, after 15 years at earliest occassional slight leak noticed by dampness on tire, and fluid added to bleed that specific rebuild. 4daily drivers kept about7 yrs, 80,000 miles never a drop of brake fluid needed ('06 Sti still rockhard Brembo feel).
I have always taken various comments as folks reporting on their own best guesses and own experiences with no intention to "shoot people down." Some posts have been godsend of fix for something I have spent years trying to sort out, and others of no value, but always taken with posters best of intentions. Sorry, I never intended to shoot anyone down.
