Master Cylinder Problems

Has anybody experienced problems with the Brake Master Cylinder, we have been replacing them like crazy so I decided to take one apart and lots of pitting on the piston and slushiness on the bottom of the tank, now I wonder if somebody put DOT 3 instead of DOT5. can this create the pitting on the piston, I should say we have some Einsteins on second shift but I would love to hear inputs on your experience.

Are these Raymond master cyls? There is a recall on some. You may install 3 or more in a row that fail. Contact the raymond supplier. Dot 3 will ruin the master, along with adjustment. make sure the plunger is free to extend all the way
