Not necessarily as the air can get trapped at the top of the chamber. 99% sure the caliper is designed to be fitted in the 12 o’clock position for the bleed nipple to be the highest point.

All back together again.

Ordered one of those manifolds for mine. Great find.

See if i can get it fitted and the rest of the exhaust rebuilt for the trip down south in June.
