Chuck Tator is the man! Spoke to Chuck this morning and he indicated that the best way to remove 99% of the air from the cooling system is to.......
1. Fill the coolant resivoir which fills the radaitor and the engine up to the thermostat.
2. To fill the other half of the engine, remove the end of the heater hose connected to the heater core. This hose routes from the heater core to the thermostat housing found on the top side rear of the engine.
3. Raise up the heat hose end just removed placing a funnel in it filling the other half of the engine with your coolant mixture.
4. Connect the hose back to the heater core connection.
5. Top of the coolant resivoir and replace the radiator cap.
6. Start the car and allow the engine to warm up until the radiator fan cycles a couple of times (remember to keep the heater on to allow coolant to flow through the heator core).
7. After the engine COMPLETELY cools down (next morning), fill the coolant resivoir again as it may take another quart of coolant mixture.
8. Repeat steps 6 & 7 a couple of times until when you remove the radiator cap, the coolant is at the highest level in the resivoir.
Keep in mind that the overflow bottle near the facia needs to be half full when you begin the filling process and during each cycle of refilling the resivoir.
Thought I would pass this valuable information along....GOOD LUCK!
