Your technique is OK with a brand new master cylinder but an old master
cylinder will be rough beyond the range routinely wiped by the piston. That
rough area will often ruin the seal.

Bingo. If you want to get the crap out of the cooling system pull the lower
hose at the lowest point (usually the radiator). In my experience it's best to
refill through the big top hose (disconnected at the radiator).

Had local independent shop replace noisy Subaru wheel hub (discussed here
previously). I watched and they didn't seem to mind. The tech used anti-seize
on new bearing, axle splines, and wheel studs. I'll use that place again.

The coefficient of expansion for aluminum is about twice that for iron. Metal
softening aside, this implies steel plugs in an aluminum head should be less
tight when hot.

As I recall, the older diaphragm style was rebuildable but the newer piston
style was not rebuildable but should last longer.
