The hole that came into the bore was at the very bottom of the bore but came in from the side and not the bottom. When the piston was fully in to the bottom of the bore it would completely block off the hole. We sent the pistons out the a machine shop and had them add a larger radius to the piston and that solved the problem. I know it sounds stupid but sometimes stupid stuff happens. Just as a note , we had performed hundreds of conversions using the same kit and never had a problem. Dan.

Maybe that is my problem?
I emailed CPP to see if i could exchange these for a new set and im waiting to hear back. The only thing i can think of is these calipers are defective.
