It makes the Proseal runny enough you can pour it in the filler cap to fix leaks, and it sets up nice and hard. Apparently MEK is a key ingredient in manufacturing crystal meth or something so it's not readily available.

It breaks down the chemistry of the pro-seal and is used to clean out a tank before resealing. It is NOT a thinner, and should only be used where you want to remove cured sealant, not just a cleanup.

I can't find the plans set to see if this is the required mounting position. Do most of you have both master cylinders installed rods-up, or is my mounting according to plans? I'm suspecting clearance issues.

If you do a search on VAF you will find a few threads on how to bleed them top down without having to flip the cylinders. I have done it once and it seemed to work fairly well.
