the holes at teh bottom are for auto tranny, thats the coolant lines. dont worry bout those. if your still overheating then you may want to look into your thermostat, hoses, and hopefully not, but your headgasket.

IF it is his headgasket he would have white smoke coming out of his exhaust, and im pretty sure it wont make the engine overheat unless he burnt up all his coolant

silly noobert. white smoke dose not always come out of the exhuast, and also if the coolant is not going to where it needs to go, then of course he is going to overheat.

yes.. take radiator cap off and let the car run for a while. The system will work the bubbles out.. Keep adding water if it boils over..
