SYMPJ.avl:
expert player can hit the pad with such
force that 20 pounds of vacuum can be
realized at the upper vent hole. This
vacuum can draw dirt into the cylinder
area. This dirt mixes with grease from the
piston seal and causes an abrasive mixture
that can wear down the piston "O" ring and
can cause cylinder scoring. (See Figure 1)
