- The master cylinder has rust in it. It's in spots. I have noticed about 4 pin holes inside on the bottom. If there is rust inside the top half then I'm guessing there is rust in the bottom half where

- Yup, good idea on all holes, and run a die over the bolts. This is especially important on anything torque critical, as the shmegma in the holes will give you a false toque reading on your wrench.

- In most cases this is true, but I would recommend against ever doing this on head studs etc. The threads on most of these are rolled not cut and running a die over them will introduce a sharp corner
