Well, you should at least wait until the thermostat opens!  FAST is a
relative term when dealing with Vanagons.  Besides, I can't reach the

I agree with you but the request was for a FAST bleed method. The 3000 rpm
is

tops.
Yes, I forgot at add bleeding the thermostat housing and the rear seat
heater.
