Well I'm kind of bummed! At first look the calipers weren't too bad. Ran the hone in the cylinders about as much as I dare and I still got some good gouges in the cylinder walls, the fronts were way worse than the rear and enough to stick a piston if I ignored it and rebuilt them.
I'm fairly confident the rears were never bled properly. I barely got the bleeder valves out when I was teaaring them down, under the pistons in the rear there was a nice big blob of goo in each cylinder. Nice, considering that I had it taken into a shop a couple of years ago before I came back from a hunting trip overseas and the shop had put on a new master.
