Don, could be that you are getting exhaust gases into your coolant. These come past the gasket at the top of the cylinder. The reason you keep getting air out of the bleeder and not any coolant is that since you have made the radiator the hight spot in the system the exhaust gases migrate there and leave the system. Since there is a continual flow of gases into the coolant the "air" never completely gets out of the system. This is my theory anyway. Solution: pull the heads and get new gaskets (or rebuilt heads too if they are found to be badly pitted upon inspection). Ken Wilford Van-Again John 3:16
