It is not that any air will be introduced to the system in any event when a fluid change is taking place unless the fluid level is allowed to drop sufficiently in the master cylinder reservoir.
If you didn't have SPS before you started, and you bleed the system in the correct order, you won't have it once you finish.

I'd picked up these tips beforehand from previous threads, but just to confirm ....
.... during my gravity bleed marathon
I left the ignition alone, made sure the Master Cylinder level went nowhere near the neck of the cylinder, never touched the brake pedal and the brake pedal is as hard after as it was before I started.
I also understood the fluid in the ABS would not be flushed by gravity method (40ml I think Brian had mentioned before)
I'd heard of Sinking Pedal but thankfully it didn't make an appearance for me. Sorry to read it did for you. Hope you sort it out ok macafee2.
Good luck and kind regards
