I found some pitting inn the cyls , I read somewhere about using some stuff called pyro putty, I ended up using a Wurth 2 part epoxy to fill the pitting, sanded it out lightly, and finished it up with a brake cylinder hone..
make sure you lube up everything upon assembly, i used a good quality brake lube from Napa, it was purple,
Watch those x-over lines, they have a bubble flare and a regular flare on each end..

I like rebuilding my own stuff. Dave might be a little different if he's doing them in house.Tom - Bradenton, FL
