do really get the air out i have left the top hose off of the rad until fluid starting coming out of it so to make sure it was circulating good. this got rid of my air problem i used to have!

I'm pretty sure I burped it well. Poured fluid into the tank, and into the upper hose... Now I'm getting coolant burping out of the cap on the tank. I'm going to try burping it again this evening when I get home. Till then, leaving the defrost on to kep my fan on I guess.

Drill 2 or 3 small holes in the thermo-stat so that it constantly lets
water by. It won't be enough to effect temps, but it will be enough to
burp the system.
