Fortunately the entire exhaust is not always wet, like inside a braking system, to accelerate the process.
The accident I spoke of in that car was a deformed piston, I had to replace it for new, as it would keep hanging up even after through cleaning, probably the intense heat kept making it get cocked in the bore afterwards.
As for bollocks, well done is that your only opinion.
I'm not concerned about your car. We're talking bikes. If the piston comes that far out of the caliper then the pad must be missing.
Brake fluid does not just absorb water, it is "Hydroscopic" so it will physically draw water
And why would the inside of a braking system be wet???? Wet with brake fluid maybe, but not wet with water....
Brake fluid does not just absorb water, it is "Hydroscopic" so it will physically draw water from beyond seals and bottle caps, from the atmosphere too, to then absorb it. It is an ongoing and continuous process.
So lets recap, on a vintage bike site, you state that scratching calipers with steel tools is good practice.
Using matchwood instead, as worked out by Nuggitt in minutes, took you over 44yrs and you still don`t get it. Bwahaha
Your advice on an unknown metal washer in FZR brake reservoirs, is beyond stupid, its dangerous.
It could easily have had a very negative outcome.
Its a liability to put something like that on a knowledgeable bike forum.
If it all went wrong then where would you be, oh thats right nowhere to be found.
It would be the sites owners who would take the brunt of it, for you.
Lets say Stig had to defend himself in court, even if he won it would cost him his house just to defend himself.
Legal Disclaimers do not provide a 100% defense. Especially for such dangerous guesswork as yours.
For me its no longer worth continuing this thread. OGRI.
If a washer doesn't come out when you change it then don't put one in.
