ok here she goes,having rebuilt both brk.mst cyl.and slv.cyl,it accured to me that if they realy wanted to totaly lock up the hydrolics in the lines and in that type cylinder they might have used a set up more like that of an engine piston ring to totally seal the pressure,nowing that a liquid [depending on its composition for all intents and purposes]can not be compressed,they use a rubber seal that would have a good amount of 'bleed back' fluid running back past it to discourage exploding lines and brake cyls. dispite the total arm=levered movement of travel,i dont think that a .063 shim would have that much of a drastic effect,im gunna call whats his name,bernulli?bannuli,how can i get his phone number if i cant spell his name? the primary shafts are limited to travel consistant with thier lenght and that of the case,were can they go?no place youd get 'bleed back into the resivour due to the flexability of the 'rubber seal'.imho.oh boy my ears ara a ringin,i can hear KEOKE now!!!!!!!.and oh yes volume is inversely proportionate to pressure,thats probably all i remember from hydrolics 101. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif
