Could my master cylinder be a problem, even after verifying it's correct length?

How did you 'verify' length?

I have been told the easiest way to do this is to unbolt the MC - leave the lines attached - so it can pull off the booster. If pushing it back to the booster finds resistance, that is you are pushing against the MC spring, then the rod is too long. It should allow the MC to seat in place without tension. Tension means the piston is already moving in the bore, and when things heat up, it may move even more - likely dragging the caliper pads, heating things up even more, dragging the pads more as the heat increases,etc.

Is this how you checked the MC pushrod length?
