Tip on burping air out of your system..
Pull your car up on ramps or put blocks under the front tires or park on a decent incline so that the radiator is the highest point. Find a funnel that will fit snugly into the radiator neck. Fill funnel about half way up with coolant. Start car and let idle, the air will burp up and out of the funnel as it works it way around to the radiator. Massage the radiator hoses at it warms and blips the throttle every now and then.
