    Okay, by hard pedal I mean you push on the pedal and its totally firm, no free play at all, if you push really hard you can move it a little but its real tight.
    I haven't checked the wheels yet for lock up, I will do that next time I have a firm pedal.

    Oh, I don't bleed any wheel cylinder I actually loosen the main line at the MC, let some fluid run out. Thats what the PO did and it seems to work.

    The PO told me he had a buddy who knew brakes and said it was some check valve in the MC not doing its job. Not sure what that means.

    Yeah I need to find the time soon to go over the whole shebang, but I'm working extra days right now at work so there is no time!
