Yes, very well worth mentioning because, without detailed analasys, this is a major source of confusion relative to the BTV MASTER CYLINDER only.

THe BTV SUPPOSEDLY is "sleeved" or "liner installed" by rebuilders only at the seal bore in the very back of the master clylinder.

Conventional master cylinders have the full length of the piston bore lined.

NOTE: that the internal workings of the BTV is unorthodox compared to nearly all other master cylinders ever produced in the last 60 to 70 years.
