My experience w/fluids say the brake fluid will follow the path of least resistance if one port is open & the other closed. How will that allow the system to build pressure where it's needed?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
