Re: Wilwood Master Cyl question

It kinda makes sense that using the plug and the shorter push rod to make sure that rod is centered when it pushes the plunger down .. would be a better option than just the small end of the longer push rod.

For example, what if that push rod has kinda gotten in a bind in there? When you push the pedal down, the end of the rod has slipped and it's pushing at an angle and not depressing the plunger all the way and/or hard enough to push the fluid through the ports (?)

I'll admit, .. it's a total guess but watching that Wilwood video I feel like that plug having the coned shape in it is there for a reason. .. to keep the push rod centered up. I also feel the larger end of the original push rod (A) would essentially accomplish the same logic.

We'll see what happens. Pop I can run up after work if it helps.
