Default bleeding the brakes and no fluid is going to the front

all right i replaced my MC and BB with integra RS units about a month ago and my car has sat ever since becuase i have been slowing buying parts and wanted to wait tell i had ALL the componets.

so i fill the system with fluid and low and behold NO FUILD IS COMING OUT THE FRONT. only the rear, (this was my **** up my dad thinks that the centering piston in the MC got fucked when i installed it.)

so this is were i need your help i can crack the line for the front of brakes and NOTHING comes out NO fluid is getting to the front only to the rear. any one know why?

my dad said the that centering piston could have goten fucked when i installed the MC so it is only letting **** go to the rear, i thought that the PV is what distributed the fulid???

thanks for the help!!

have you adjusted the MC already to factory specs? you know the piston part that goes to the brake pedal. honda has a special tool that attaches to the front of the MC to get it to the recommended specs. Here's my guess, it could be out of specs, meaning the piston is all the way in and not out to the factory specs, causing the piston to pump only a little amount of brake fluid to the calipers. hence since the front calipers need more braking 70% compared to the rear 30% it could possiblity not get enough fluid to the front calipers. this is only a suggestion not a confirmed problem.

that honda tool you can buy from them I believe the part # is 07JAG-SD40100 it's called Pushrod Adjustment Gauge. the clearance should be between 0-0.4 mm or 0-0.02 in.
