33596, Caliper rebuild: is this an issue?
Posted by streetlightning, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I tore apart my caliper to have it powdercoated. When i got it back, i noticed the bores have been blasted!


Are thes ruined now? Or just re-assymble? Thanks.

It would not hurt to hit them with a caliper hone prior to piston installation.

This. They should be fine after a nice honing. I doubt enough material was removed to prevent the O-rings and seals from doing their job.

That's terrible that they didn't use the correct tape to protect the cylinder. This has happened to me however in the past. In my experience I brake honed the walls first, then lightly polished them with a dremel polishing kit. The seal was excellent and lasted for years without issue.
