Now, why would your mind go THERE???

Is it because he referred to himself as Spartacus?

Ahem, you're the one who repeatedly refers to yourself as "Spartacus".

Don't know where your mind is, but:

"Spartacus (c. 109 BC-71 BC), according to Roman historians, was a slave who became the leader (or possibly one of several leaders) in the unsuccessful slave uprising against the Roman Republic known as the Third Servile War. Little is known about Spartacus beyond the events of the war, and the surviving historical accounts are inaccurate and often contradictory. Spartacus's struggle, often seen as the fight for an oppressed people fighting for their freedom against a slave-owning aristocracy, has found new meaning for modern writers since the 19th century. The figure of Spartacus, and his rebellion, has become an inspiration to many modern literary and political writers, who have made the character of Spartacus an ancient/modern folk hero."

Actually, I've been burping it repeatedly since yesterday. I think I've about got all the air out at this point.
I can see this build is going to be fun!

For what it's worth, leave the little wire jobby (for bleeding) in the up position all the time. In street cars you put it back down but on race cars (including cups) you want to leave it up.
