I didn't do anything special to the MC. I had searched on here and the general consensus seemed that I could power bleed it after it was installed and be OK.

I did notice the follow:
-On long highway cruises, stopping at the off ramp, the pedal felt pretty good on the first press
-Leaving this morning after setting up Army's leave-the-pedal-engaged overnight trick seemed to improve the pedal for the first few pumps.

I have no external leaks. It could be an internal seal issue on the calipers, I'm not sure how their internals are laid out and what could "go bad"...

I'll give it another bleed in a few days.
