I just had a new engine (B230) put into my '87 244 because a slipped timing belt on the old one killed it. BUT since the installation of the new engine, the brake pedal needs to be depressed past the accelorator and almost to the floor before the car will stop. Three months ago (before the old engine gave out), I changed all the brake pads and rotors and replaced one of the rear calipers with a seized piston. The brakes worked beautifully until the engine was replaced two days ago. Aren't the engine and the brake system independent of each other? what is going on?!
