I think I would want a small amount of clearance on the pushrod, maybe 1/16" to 1/18". About the thickness of a gasket anyways. You can always put a piece of clay on the pushrod, assemble, disassemble and check the thickness.
.030" is the technically correct amount, Exact doesn't matter as long as it isn't pushing on the master plungerI think I would want a small amount of clearance on the pushrod, maybe 1/16" to 1/18".

That's for manual brakes. I wonder if there's such a thing for power brakes?
That doesn't effect the booster pin length. I doubt his is too long, both brakes would be dragging or locked.Can you adjust the push rod on the pedal side?

So I have another report. I took the car back out for about 20 more miles of driving. It is doing great but when I got back I checked the temp of the hubs and the LH was just a "skosh" warmer. So I'm not sure if it's fixed yet! I can safely say it's a BIG improvement!
I have to get some gas for it and continue "testing" another day. (my favorite part)
I was thinking, if I do need to ease up on that rod to master, I can probably drill the back of the piston out a little. (whatever amount is needed) Unless someone knows how to adjust this.
I'm a little worried about the rubber vacuum seal. If the master is held away, it might leak??Two flat washers is much cheaper and has same result
I did look under the dash but do not see any adjustments there. It's not like a manual rod that has threads and a locking nut.Can you adjust the push rod on the pedal side?
Not by the thickness of a washer. There is nothing to leak back thereI'm a little worried about the rubber vacuum seal. If the master is held away, it might leak??
Ok, I'll give that a try.Not by the thickness of a washer. There is nothing to leak back there
True. I'm not convinced that it's fixed just yet. Another day of cruising should help.Except if it's already fixed no need to do any thing more
If you do not have punches and shoot guns like me, use your old brass as a punch. Used this a lot when I was younger when I would make gaskets. I made many gaskets from cereal boxes and brown paper bags. If it worked 40 years ago it should still work today.You can make a gasket, just get the material and cut it out if you feel better about having it sealed. I have made gaskets for lawn mower and other stuff. Really easy if you have the hole punchers,which I don't but they are obtainable.
