Hey guys alright i have a 94 honda delsol the other night it overheated and boiled all the antifreeze out. Now I'm refilling the radiator and trying to bleed it the radiator and reservoir is full but the bleed valve is just gurgling no matter how long i let it sit i cant seem to get just a solid stream of fluid to come out its about 90 % air with a little bit of fluid. could my water pump be gone? or am i missing something?

If gas still bubbles out after bleeding as described below, then the head gasket may be blown. To check, compression test the cylinders and do a leak down test.

Bleeding the cooling system:
(may take 20-30 minutes)

1) Park the car on an inclined driveway with the front end higher than the rear.

2) Push the dash heater lever/**** to MAX heat.

3) Follow the directions in the diagram below (hint: the bleed bolt is located where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine):

That's fine. Do you have the car parked on a incline? If not do so or jack up the front of the car while doing this.

No need to take it to a mechanic for that. All they'll do is put the wrong kind of fluid in haha.

In the future make a new thread first instead of bumping old threads.
