Default Location of Coolant Air Bleeder in 2000 LS motor

I changed my T stat and now I need to add in coolant. Problem is that I don't know where the Air Bleeder is. I used to know when i had a b18a motor. Now that I did a swap. I don't know where the location is.

I am pretty sure that newer model GSRs don't have the bleeder, I know my 2000 GSR didn't, although older Integras did. It's possible that you don't have one on the LS either.

IIRC, on the 94-95 integras there was a bleeder valve. On the 96-01 integras, you just run the car with radiator cap off until you don't see bubbles.

With or without the bleeder valve, you should still squeeze & push your radiator hoses to encourage air bubbles to move over to the cap (or to the bleeder).

I appreciate the tips. Keep it coming.

I was just being safe because my 92 helms book says that it might damage the engine if there were air bubbles (pockets)

Yup, no bleeder on 96+... just let the car idle for a while with the cap off (don't actually drive it like that).
