If you want to build just vented bladder shocks you drill one 1-2mm hole straight up thru the top of the cap into the hole where the bushing sits for mounting in addition to the side bleeder on the cap. Don't do anything with the emulsion bleeder hole where the screw goes, leave it closed. I suppose if you drilled thru the emulsion bleed hole instead of the top it would serve the same purpose, just leave the screw out.

Okay almost done build. What a smooth easy build.
Okay first let me say I have built many many cars and trucks, but want to verify what to do before I drill shock caps.
Per the instructions to build vented bladder shocks it says to drill 2 holes in each cap.
First hole is where the threads are to allow oil to bleed out when tightening the cap, but no mention of where to drill second hole.
If it is where bleeder screw where hole is drilled to do emulsion style, after build do you put screw into this hole?
I prefer bladder style shocks and want to build it this way, just a little confused.

Personally, I like the vented.

Thank you guys for quick replies. Can't wait to finish build and test it out this weekend.
Building it for dirt and clay tracks, but will be testing it on indoor carpet track.
Only thing open up here in the Great White North. Lol. Actually Just outside Toronto.

I pretty much only run emulsion style now but when i was using bladders it was suggested that I use the bleeder hole where the screw goes because then you can use the same caps for all three styles, standard bladder put screw in, vented leave screw out and emulsion put screw in. Hope this helps.

shock caps
From Tekno's website, a picture of there vented caps.
I tried to circle in white the top hole that goes to the eyelet.
The red arrows show where the holes are to be drilled.
Didn't know this until after I asked and looked.
