Hey Grumpy, did you have the regular steel speed bleeders or the stainless versions? I'm guessing by the part numbers you quoted in your original post they were not the stainless steel variety. I just bought the stainless ones (and SpeedBleeder's special thread sealant) for my my RS, but haven't installed them yet. Given your recent experience I'm wishing I hadn't ordered the bleeders. I already have the Motion Pro solution, but have found it doesn't work for vacuum bleeding because air leaks in around the threads, despite my attempts to seal the threads with plumbers thread tape.
Now I'm thinking maybe I'll just use their special thread sealant to seal the threads of the standard bleed valves, and use the Motion Pro and my MityVac.
