Re: overheat - sort of
ok, what's not being said, exactly, the reason this works is because this hose at that point is the highest point of the coolant system. right? so the air is going to go up to that point. right?
anyway, i too have success filling, running with the heater on high and so forth. i can see why the hose method would be quicker, but i'm always reluctant to screw around with an old hose that is sealing ok now, but what might get 'disturbed' if twisted and pulled. i like that kind of tip, though //bc

Re: overheat - sort of
I wonder if the old way has always worked for me because I allow it to run for quite some time with the heater on high, radiator cap off.
The top hose in the back isn't too bad to get to, but if you had to replace them, they are a PAIN.

i findly found where the ocassional whiff of coolant was coming from --one of the heater hoses at the firewall end. i'm starting to do research now on how to access that thing --it not only is right up against the engine but in a little built-in recess in the firewall, imposssible to access without removing something or maybe the jack-up-the-transmission-trick that i think i saw as a jlemond tip to access the coolant temp sensor on the cooland crossover manifold back there. ahhh, fun, that. //bc

Re: overheat - sort of
It's easy with the manifold off, but then you're looking at a gasket set.

Re: overheat - sort of
I hear all of that. I had some whistling after doing all of the work under the intake awhile back. Very distinct sound.
