Hey now, I had a small leak on the main rad hose that i was able to fix,(at the joint) but having alot of trouble getting all of the air out . No overheating overflow just filling up and spitting a little bit. New press cap- newer heads and gaskets (10,000 miles). I know that the engine should not be too warm when yopu bleed it , but how warm should I let it get? I have been bleeding it from dead cold letting it warm up for a couple of minutes before I start. Coolant still feels cool to the touch coming out of rad. Do I need to let it warm up a little more? Maybe still small leak somewhere? Does not appear to be losing any more coolant but is hard to pinpoint since is moving into overflow and spitting a little. Poss stuck thermostat?(almost the only thing in cooling system that hasn't been relaced. was checked in June and working ok). I don't have press tester - will take it to be tested if I have too. Trying to beat the cooling demons myself. Thanks for the help.
