I painted the servo on my car, and i popped it in the over at 50 degrees to help it go off a bit.
Turns out the oven is fucked, and was infact on at 100 degrees.
Will it still work do you all think? I put the master cylinder on, and had a suck (ooohhh matron) through the vacuum hole, and it sucked in alright, as it should, so i'm inclined to think its ok personally.
But if the seal is knackered, whats the worst that can happen? Heavy brakes?

Why couldn't you just wait for the paint to dry naturally![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

I wanna know how servo's work, so i can decide if its ok or not. As far as i have tested, it behaves as it should, and i compared that to two other servos.
There's no leaks when i suck, so the vacuum still seems to work ok.
Ah well, only one way to find out i suppose

The only other thing I can think of is if the servo's cracked from the heat. It "could" fail and make the master cylinder fall away from its mountings which would be something not fun at all. Though I have to say thats a very very small chance thing.
