Dean,

My 2¢ won't solve your problem, but may contribute to the 
process...  RE bleeding the air out of the system:  I was taught that 
it is IMPORTANT to start the bleeding proceess at the wheel 
cylinder MOST DISTANT from the MC and work toward the MC 
bleeding the next most distant.  This method requires a bit more 
brake fluid to get the system bled, but brake fluid isn't expensive 
and getting every bit of air out of the system is critical.  Be sure to 
consider the routing of the lines to determine the most distant 
wheel cylinder from the MC as you move from wheel to wheel and 
keep the MC reservoir filled as you progress with the bleeding.
