With my TR6, the bleed screw on the slave cylinder is not at the highest
point in the slave cylinder when it is mounted.  So I dismounted the
cylinder and rotated the cylinder so that the bleed screw was at the highest
point.  Bled it.  Then remounted the slave.  Is that possibly an issue with
the TR3?

New TR3 rebuild with new clutch lines, master cylinder and slave.  Silicone
Dot-5 used throughout.  Clutch still "pumps up"

 

Have bled it time and again and no evidence of air in the lines.

 

I have been told that some master cylinders are not "silicone-friendly" and
lead to internal shunting of the fluid.  Any truth to that?  Keep bleeding
the lines?

 

Any suggestion would be great.  Thanks!
