Rick - I'll put this on my list of things to try if rotating the beeder valve up isn't a cure. I'll also watch the overstroke although with a scattershield it's a little difficult to check by clearance.

It's easier if you have the floor out but not required to see this. will need 2 people or a prop rod to hold the pedal down.
Press pedal and hold it. Crack bleeder. Fluid will come out until there is no force from the clutch fork on the slave and stop. You need to manually push the slave piston all the way back into the slave with the pedal on the floor and the bleeder crack. Tighten bleeder and release pedal slow. The fluid will be pulled from the holding tank. 2-3 times of doing this will give you a good pedal. After this, setup the linkage adjuster to the clutch. One side note. Don't mat the pedal to the floor after the bleeding is done. You can over extend the slave and have the fluid leak problem. A small block of wood works great to limit pedal travel. If you have room to see the disengagement of the clutch you want between .35"-.55" clearance of disc and pressure plate for clean release. This also helps get the correct linkage adjustment too.
