Brakes are just too important, and after 20 years probably all the parts will be gunked-up with degenerated fluid. - Remove, clean and inspect all; /html/healeys/2008-01/msg00165.html (8,660 bytes)

Is that different from typical old American cars? That's mostly where I have my experience. Good to know, will do. Right...

Think most American cars--older ones anyway--have iron cylinders. BTW, my BJ8's original M/Cs were aluminum, but the newer replacements were iron (rear slaves are Al).

I definitely have an example of pitting in the cylinder... I guess a piston stuck in the same spot for 20 years with fluid will do it! Thanks for the feedback all.
