Yeah, the cooling system. I mean hell for all I know you could be talking about the brakes.

Turn the HEAT on and on high. open the bleeder valve on the upper water neck on the block until water comes out, close it up and fill the system the rest of the way up.

BTW let the engine run until the t-stat opens.

Mine would heat up fast when driving but took a while just idling. Sounds normal unless its overheating.

You never said it would overheat, just heating. I have no idea. I know mine was a blown head gasket.

Sorry for not mentioning that!! Any ways what symptoms did your car have when blown head gasket!? I mean i dont think its that since my exhaust does not throw out white smoke and my oil/coolant are not mixed!!! also im not losing coolant and it wont overheat when i have no thermo on it!! Any Ideas WTF is wrong?

Mine had none of those problems, no water in oil, no smoke. Just very slowly lost coolant and finally got worse. Also the over flow tank was brown/nasty.

Edit, you put the t-stat in right?

Yeah everything was put correctly but it still heats up!!! The previous problem on it was that "I bought this engine and i just swapped it in.Somehow the intake gasket was miising part of it so my engine was getting water into cylinder#4 because of IM gasket!!! It was getting water from that water connection on the IM." So im thinking that maybe that caused my engine to get a **** load of air in the system! What do you think?
