Your local mechanic has agood imagination. It is possible the new master
is bad, (leaking valve) or the brake pressure regulator is defective. It
can cause the same result.

Subject: Brake problem

Hi All,

Can anyone provide some assistance on this brake problem?

My pedal fades very very slowly.  So I change the master cylinder and
I've
bled the system from the furthest brake forward no change.  I spoke with
a
local car mechanic and he said that the cups in the cylinder have
reverses
themselves because I did not bench bleed the new master cylinder.  He
couldn't explain why there was no change from the original master
cylinder.
I checked for leaks: none.

TIA

Jere
