Ha!  The possibility that I was not compressing the piston fully has seemed
to me to be the most likely cause of my problem and I have ordered the
special tools from Snap--on to do a 4 pot simultaneous compression. My
theory is that it resents the zero braking position of the pistons which is
the reason why I am getting noise when I am NOT braking.  Otherwise I get no
noise whatsoever when I do brake and great pedal response and feel from
these pads.
