anyone know if the seals are tapered?
Yes, I can see how that would cause a problem, but I don't think it's tapered, it really doesn't look like it is... does anyone know
for sure?

Seals are naturally tapered to make them more hydrodynamic in the water.

When I rebuilt my calipers the seals had a definate taper, with the thicker end facing down into the cylinder. Maybe you have been given the incorrect
seals. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Spoke to bigg red, they said the seals are square-cut. I guess I must have nicked it (although it looks fine to me) when inserting the piston.
