I searched on here for a how-to, and nobody mentioned what was mentioned in the Helms, which is when refilling the radiator, to loosen the bleed screw until no air bubbles come out, just coolant. OK, this is with the engine off? Would I attach some hose to the end and put it in a container?

Also, it talks about removing the cylinder block drain bolt to drain the coolant. I didn't have the right size socket extension to get my breaker bar on there to break it free, so I skipped that part. I guess a little old coolant was left in the block.

Anyway, when I loosened the coolant bleeding screw, and filled the radiator, no coolant came out like it said it would in the book.

Also in the book, when it has you leave the radiator cap off, put the heater temp dial all the way to hot, and run the engine until the fan kicks on twice. It doesn't mention turning the heater fan on, but maybe that helps? Or may I ask what good just turning the heat **** to hot does exactly?

Also, I ran it and ran it, and the radiator fan never kicked on. But I'm pretty sure it works because it came on the other day when it was hot out.

Thanks!

 

I bleed my 94 RS with engine running, a hose on the bleeder into a bucket is the environmentally correct way to do it, also a must if you have pets, cats and dog will lap up spilled coolant and it can kill them. 94

 

Cool, thanks. Heater fan on?

 

Yes and full heat. 94
