You dont need to bleed it, When you 1st try to start it it will take a couple cranks before the pump gets fuel there. The pump wont come on till you start cranking.

i infact disagree with priming the fuel rail up at all. cranking over the motor a few times and building up oil pressure before you have detonations going off seems like a good idea to me.
