Default brake issue

i have a 91 integra... it jus had a freind replace the master cylinder and i helped him bleed the brakes but the pedal is not firm and goes to the floor, now i asked him if he had bench bled the master cylinder and he did not would this still pose a problem even tho we bled the brakes at the calipers till i could not see any more air coming out? is it possible there is still air in the lines? whichorder are u supposed to bleed the calipers in? could it be the booster?

Yes, you have to bench bleed the master. You will have a lot of fluid to bleed at the calipers before you get to the air from the master. If the fluid coming out isn't clear, you haven't gotten to it yet.

Start with the caliper furthest from the MC then work your way around the car till you get to the closest. You're probably going to have to bleed a bottle or 2 through since you didn't bench bleed the MC.

what year is the car? oddly enough some years they changed the order in which the bleeding order was to be done.

my old 00 LS and the FSM said to start with the Driver front. shocking, yes.
