anyone lose front brakes B/C of header heat

just wondering..i'm sure you've been seeing my posts about no brakes.....and i thought hey my brake lines are ALMOST TOUCHING...i was going to move them when i put the car on the road...and i've been running the thing constantly....just slipped my mind....


i'm wondering if the old brake fluid had boiled in the lines...and created a massive air pocket..????

does this make sense.....anyone ever have this happen /

I've had brake fluid boil in the lines but not in my third gen. The fluid usually boils after it has got really hot and you let the car sit for a while. No brakes!
