[QUOTE="hotcobra03, post: 15809134, member: 53096"] here is my take on air in the system.. 1st..there will always be air in the system.. stock system holds 4 gallons.. object is to bleed air so you can get 4 gallons in.. with location of tstat and all that plumbing..air gets trapped there. I found some have drilled a tiny hole in tstat to help pass the air bubble. when filling after tstat change..I would want to put 3 gallons in before I'm OK with running it.. the burp and fill..I had tried the funnel part,during my issue..ithe wouldn't work, being once my engine came up to temperature,it would keep climbing,causing boiling which just made it shoot out like wild.. than if I did read it right..it says to not fill tank to top,and install cap..than go to burp plug and fill.. why leave a giant air pocket in tank? for me.. I fill at tank till it's full,leave cap off , than open plug, I fill at plug till it runs out tank. put on cap. fill at plug till full..install plug hand tight.. start car, idle till fan kicks on..shut off..let cool.. remove cap from tank..fill and with cap off open burp plug,fill till it comes out tank..put on cap,fill at plug, install hand tight.start car.. run till fan kicks..shut off..cool repeat 3rd time should be enough.. note..I have found that even if tank is at full level..it may take a lot of coolant still if it has air still.. you would think the tank would show low..but not this car.. honestly..getting air out shouldn't be hard..read a lot of problems [/QUOTE]
