I've personally encountered two bad Wilwood master cylinders (brand new) and heard of many others that just won't ever bleed out. All were exchanged for another that worked, but I have little confidence in them. I'd bet that a different MC with the same bench bleed process you used would get a good pedal.

Oh, geeze, didn't realize that. Was the first one bad as well? Similar issues?

The first one would not seal at the rear fittings and I went through 3 brake lines and still leaked (wept) at the fitting.

Well, sounds promising. I used a cheapo CPP master and was pleasantly shocked at how quickly the system bled out. Sounds like getting a master with no issues is going to be the key to your system working out.

I didn't go back to read the whole thread but HOPE that you bench bleed these Masters before installing --- it's a critical step.
