1. Did you back fill the block via the top Hose?

2. Did you run the heater when changing coolant mix?

Haven't changed coolant lately? (Drained system etc.). Now's a good time
entering into spring and all.

When you install the new thermo, consider drill two small holes in the
plate of the thing- this lets a small dribble of coolant to flow pass
the thing and avoid bubbles in the black.
