db:

Your first quote, above, is in conflict with your second. If you are not able to bleed from the bottom up, it is, as 97SL mentions, because the M/C piston is partially pushed down past the inlet port. The piston is down because there is NO pedal free-play. Apparently the eccentric adjustment will not provide any free-play. Why? See the first quote, above.
