Did you lube it with fluid when you put it back in ?
It should be tight, if not it will leak like my engine !
It should be a little tough to get in, everything is new and stuff so like I
said it should give some resistance.
Make sure you bench bleed it good.
If you have a Mighty Vac you don't need to bench bleed it.
I just switched my brake system over this past weekend over to Silicone.
Bleed that baby just fine with that Vac thing. Best $25.00 I spent !

Subject: master cylinder rebuild
Thank you for those who point out that my master clutch cylinder needed
rebuilding.
I got the kit and went right to work.
Uhm. I think it's broke.
How freely should the piston move within the cylinder? It is difficult to
push it in by hand and it doesn't want to spring back.
Did I mess up this simple job?
Thanks.
