I would bleed until I got good clear fluid coming out(be sure to keep topping off the master cylinder). With trash comes rust and issues rust can cause. Brake fluid attracts moisture. This just adds to the rust problem. Even though you replaced the mc the lines still have old fluid and I would bet more of that crud.
