hey- i have a quick question about my car overheating. i recently purchased a mishimoto radiator and installed it myself. I filled up the radiator and started the car and drove it for a bit. before it got too hot, i opened the cap to check the coolant level and put in more coolant. then i filled the resevoir tank to the max fill line. now, driving around town without stepping on the gas at all, the car doesn't overheat, but once i hit the gas and get the motor revving a bit, it starts to overheat. then when i go to park the car and the fan comes on, the engine temp gauge shows the car to cool down again. my question is: is there a bleeder valve that i needed to open to bleed the air out? or is it something more serious like my headgasket? please guys. need help. oh yeah, i drive an em1 turbo. lmk-i'm desperate for answers. thanks in advance!

I dont know for your engine, but my bleeder screw is on the upper hose housing that is bolted to the engine. I hope that makes sense. But I have a B18B1. I had the same problem until I asked H-T and got an answer

so i unscrew the screw and it'll bleed. then i start the motor and it should run fine?

just need to know if that's right. bleed it then start the motor?

or you can starts the car with the cap off, and run the heater at full level for a few minutes. it will cycle everything through.
