than .010, but apparently this is too much for the lip seals. The piston
movement allows air into the system without leaking fluid.
So far, I've replaced all pads, rotors, calipers, booster, 3 different master
cylinders, rear brake lines. I'm pretty tired of bleeding the brakes (done at
least 5 times the last 3 weeks). Hopefully the o-ring units will give me some
good results. I can't get my buddy's run-out gauge now as racing season is
starting, so I may just end up buying some good quality rotors next.
Chinese shit is ruining my hobby.

got to be a line sucking air.....

Hey MikeB have you changed any brake lines? I've ran across a few ended up using copper flare gaskets, stainless are terrible for not sealing.
They don't leak but suck air in...

Morning Robert, A/E and the rest of youins

Good Lord it rained hard around 6am, Bear held it until 720 and was thrilled gl out in the rain even in his rain gear. I need to find him an easy to put on whole body rain suit.

Missed out on a very nice Caddy up by Mike yesterday damnit. Hopefully that deal falls through and I get a crack at it.

Have a good day everyone

Morning all

Still snowing this morning, but small accumulations only.
Right at the freezing mark.

Ordered another set of rear brake lines (steel, coming today with the calipers).
Might end up buying new front rubber lines too (locally) if the air problems
exists with the new 0-ring seals.
That'll be this weekend. Too cold in the garage right now.
