[QUOTE="hotcobra03, post: 16766865, member: 53096"] Use grease on plug. Dumb idea,, Here is how I would have done in your place,, System hold say 4 gallons With tstat off a gallon or so is left, I would try to get 3 gallons in . I take radiator cap off ,take plug out,, Fill till fluid comes out of of tank. ,put cap on. Fill till I can't, Put plug back on. Run engine till 180 degs . Shut off ,let it cool a little, Remove cross over plug slowly. Once out than remove radiator cap. ..repeat Fill at crossover till comes out cap , Replace cap, fill cross over till full. Install plug run engine .. How close to 3 gallons tells me how much is there. Did your replacement tstat have a hole vs original? When I did the 170. I added 2 tiny hole ,,they say air gets trapped here. Causing tstat not to open [/QUOTE]
