Guys looking for someone to rebuild my master cylinder. Who do you use. I sent it out through my local auto parts store and they said they couldn't rebuild it? This is the second one I sent them with the same results. So I would like to get a second opinion. I thought they all could just be sleeved?

I have used White Post B4 with good results. They can re sleeve the MC if needed.

Thanks for the replies. It was just a local shop not real sure where they sent it but the shop don't sleeve them just hone them. They have the bore cleaned up real close but not good enough for them to warranty it. So I will need it sleeved.

Karps will press in a stainless steal sleeve.

Another vote for White Post. I had them work over my Master Cylinder in '98 after I beat on it too hard at the drag strip. Has been working flawless since.

And you picked the right guy for your brake booster!!!!

How reasonable were they to re-sleeve it?

I've been very happy with the results from Imperial Machine in Lincoln, Nebraska. He does it with stainless steel. I'm afraid of the brass sleeves White Post uses. The constant motion of the internal pistons must cause wear in the brass.
I don't have a # for him but he advertises in Hemmings.
just my opinion
