[QUOTE="WDW MKR, post: 2538173, member: 8038"] It is very difficult to get all of the air out of these systems. Drilling a hole in the thermostat does seem to help. The biggest thing is to make sure that you follow the Ford procedure: 1) fill overflow tank until level reaches top of tank 2) install cap and tighten 3) continue filling by means of the burp plug on the crossover tube (driver's side) 4) install burp plug once level reaches top 5) turn heater and fans on max 6) start car and let it run until the thermostat opens 7) shut off engine and let cool, completely 8) once cooled, remove burp plug and top off, if necessary 9) repeat steps 6-8 until level remains constant Also, you should really get rid of the factory thermostat setup and go with the relocated housing and thermostat from Evans. It offers great coolant flow, actually opens all the way before hitting 210*F+, and puts the housing in the upper radiator hose for better control. [/QUOTE]
