air in the system.


1. Fill the overflow tank to the full line.
2. Make sure heater is fully on the hot side.
3. Remove engine bleeder screw and radiator cap
4. Fill very slowly until coolant comes through bleeder.
5. Close bleeder.
6. Continue filling until radiator is full.
7. Squeeze all hoses to release more air. Keep radiator topped off.
8. When full, install radiator cap and run engine.
9. Fill overflow and radiator as necessary. Keep heater on hot.
10. Hope to god it works because you really don't want to repeat the process again.
