Adding coolant after the swap
How should i add the coolant after the swap, or more specifically get the air out once i add the coolant? In my service manual it explains how to do it using a bleed bolt, but I don't have a bleed bolt on my engine... Anyone have a general procedure in mind? Any input is appreciated

jack the front of car up as high as you can then put the coolant in until its full then start the car up then rev it up and down (from idle to about 3000 rpm's) by the TB add coolant if need it then put the rad.. cap on and let car down then open the bleeder valve to let any air out then go around the block a few times then open the bleeder valve to make sure all of the air is out and your done
never had problem with over heating doing it this way
hope this helps

I usually top off the coolant, put a towel over the radiator, turn the car on, remove the towel and let it idle for about 5 minutes. you should see bubbles coming out.
