This discussion has turned to the core of what I'm concerned about. My problem only went away when I bled air out of the line, but that could have allowed some debris to become dislodged from some part of the return circuit. When I say I bled the line, I really only burped it, so I have more work to do.
I'm always concerned when a problem goes away and I don't really know why. On top of that this is a production process currently making parts. The force output is a key process parameter that has a huge impact on product quality, and the defect can only be identified by putting it on a the car or by destructive evaluation. So I really want to find some debris or some other smoking gun.
I think I'll take the line apart as much as I can and flush them out and then bleed it really well as several of you have suggested.
If I find anything interesting I'll let you know!
