[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 456018, member: 19161"] If there is air still in the system, it'll become readily apparent when your temp gauge begins bouncing all over the place. And, as BLACKJKU mentioned, getting the front end above grade from the rear end by 6" or so is critical. You don't really need the burping kits and special funnels and all that. Just start the engine and begin adding coolant slowly, let it settle and burp until the level is just below the radiator cop level and doesn't drop or burp any longer. Put the cap back on and add coolant to the reservoir to the appropriate line. [/QUOTE]
