giving up

[zinc2u]

Hi Cotton,
    Looks like Miles will give you both check valves for $25.  They are located under the 3/4 inch nut on top of the MC.  When you remove the check valves,  keep track of which came from the front and rear section of the MC.  If your MC is original,  the two check valves should be slightly different.....looking at the top you will
see one which has a small notch.  Under each check valve, you will find two holes in the body....a very small hole and a larger hole.
Check the very small hole is clear and not plugged..... this was one of the problems I had with my MC.  Also remove the low brake pressure senders (2 of them) and clean out those passages.
For the MC to work properly,  it needs to be very clean inside.
good luck,
Dale

Actually I don't sell the check valves, I buy them 30 at a time from
Honda and I am down to only a few. I only sell them when I do a
master cylinder and are included in the price.
The ones with no notch are discontinued and not all masters had both
types in them. Some had notched in both sides. I install notched in
both ports. The socket size you need to open them is 21mm and are
usually stuck tight pretty well. I place the master vertically in a
hydraulic press then unscrew or tighten them as required.
According to Joe Way the check valve in the front circuit is not
needed because of the type of seals in the calipers, but I have never
tried leaving one out. That has come up before in the group before
about leaving out the check valves.
You won't be able to see pits in your cylinder until you hone it. If
you hone it, you will need extra fine stones or you will severly
scratch it - just aluminum bore.
