Cheers guys, sounds like it's ok. Only got one side done in the end, only had an hour of daylight left when I'd finished it. Have to hope it doesn't rain next weekend!
Another question, as I opened the bleed nipple to wind the piston back will I have to bleed the brakes after? Can't see how air could get in, but don't want any nasty shocks  :grin:

There should be a little bit of play but not much.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
