Are you trying to completely fill the shock with oil? Because that won't work, they need some air in them, and excess oil will just get forced out of the seals.
I always built them like an Associated shock - piston down, oil to the brim but with a concave surface, screw the oiled cap on, check for even damping throughout the stroke with no more than a tiny squeak of air. I've never managed to get the bleed screws to give me the kind of shock I like.
