The master cylinder is based on certain close tolerances. In a rush to "refurbish" these master cylinders sometimes close enough appears to the motto of some of these companies. My last problem with this issue resulted in a "new" master having tolerances .008 out of spec. which is a football fied of difference.

that makes perfect sense, maybe the bore tolerance is out of range and that's why it won´t build pressure for the rear breaks..
