Mike,

You won't see it doing anything. It just shunts any air that might be
there back to the expansion tank where it flows out to the overflow
tank.

Congrats on the EZ bleed. It works at least as well as the front up
engine revving run back and forth Bentley method.

What did you do for that gasket?
