Emulsion shocks just a bleeder cap, or is there more to it?

Bleeder caps are nice, but not a requirement for emulsion shocks. All that's required for emulsion shocks is that they don't have a bladder to separate the air bubble at the top from the oil below. That's what allows the air to get churned into the oil.

From my experience, that normally just means the theory/assumptions were incorrect. It may just be silicone oil and air flowing into holes, but the fluid mechanics can get complex fast. You have to take into account thermal expansion as the shock heats up (air expands more than silicone oil) as well as compressibility of air and oil (air is much more compressible), among other things.

That being said, I prefer emulsion.

emulsion are awesome , not always better for the track conditions but they do provide more adjustability to a setup but in trade require MUCH more maintenance and if not bled off quite often they will cause ill handling to the car which they are installed .

imo , what truly matters is on track testing .
