Got two items making me scratch my head. It seems like every time I bleed/flush the brake fluid I have a nice firm, short pedal, but as soon as I start the engine I lose (pedal moves closer to the floor) about an inch of travel before the pedal gets firm. The car still stops fine, but it's not a warm fuzzy feeling having that low of a pedal when coming into a corner rather quickly. (I make no claim to have been able to remove 100% of the air in the system, so I am not discounting that as one possible cause.)
A new additional item I'm getting is a very audible click in the RR area of the brakes once the pedal goes down close to the floor. I also can feel the click in the braided line feeding the RR caliper. I initially entertained the thought that the noise was coming from the combination valve, but the instrument panel brake light doesn't come on, and I haven't been able to run a long length stethoscope to the combo valve to eliminate it as a possibility. (I had the wife stomp on the brake pedal when I was able to track the click noise to the RR, but she was late for work and she had to leave before I could try listening to the combination valve area.)
The brake system is the stock C3 booster, C5 master cylinder, stock C3 combo valve, braided hose out to each corner, and Wilwood calipers.
Any productive suggestions or questions would be appreciated.
