[QUOTE="FISHTAIL, post: 7874088, member: 19212"] Just the cross over should work fine. I generally fill it from the overflow first, just because the cap is bigger and it's easier to avoid making a mess. After that, you should be able to fill it from the cross over tube only. Once you've got it filled, you will need to start it to let the coolant circulate in order to get the last of the air out of the system. Put the fitting back in, and after it warms up, I'd check it one more time to make absolutely sure that you've gotten all the air out of the system. Just be careful to let it cool first so you don't burn yourself when removing that fitting after it's been warmed up. Also, just as another FYI, don't ever add cold coolant to a hot car...the thermal shock can damage parts. You probably already know this if you are willing to work on the car yourself, but I figured I'd stick it here as a reminder just in case, or for those who happen to stumble upon this with a search.
