zcarnut Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 As long as the nick doesn’t make contact with the seal it will be OK. Measure how far the (top of the) seal groove is from the bottom of the caliper bore and compare this to where the nick is on the piston. The piston is designed to bottom out when pressed completely into the caliper bore. Looking at your picture and from what I remember (when I last re-built a Z car caliper), you should be fine.
