The 2nd (or 3rd) time you bleed, you are bleeding excess oil not air. AE shocks for the b4 series are emulsion shocks & WILL have air in them. Through repeated bleeding & pumping you will eventualy get your shocks to completely neutral rebound, no positive rebound (compress the shock & it is pushed back out) or negative rebound (expand the shock completely & the shaft gets pulled back in).

The 17.5 motor wasn't blazing fast, but it got the job done.

Touring cars only dampen a very small amount which is why it is ok for that application but off-raod buggies are vastly different and the shocks travel their full lengths repeatedly in remarkably quick fashion, thus shooting out some fluid should you leave the bleeder screws out. As well, the severe bottoming out would be a painful experience to endure.
