Question Disc brake upgrade question

Bought the Classic Performance disc brake upgrade through my local dealer, and ran into a problem, which my dealer is checking into with CP.

On the brake calipers, the mating surface for the bleeder screws was not machined properly, and is to rough to allow the bleeder valve to seal. Is this a regular problem with their product? Or was I just unlucky enough to get some bad parts? I am sure they will take care of the problem, but would like to hear if anyone else has had this problem.

I have no complaints about the rest of their products, but am now into the sixth week of my disc brake/lowering project, and my wife wants her parking spot in the garage back!

On my calipers I had to turn turn the brake line around 180 degrees and it would seal. I don't know if you tried that but it worked for me.
