Do you :
A: Use the valve at the thermo to bleed air out, or...

B: Just run the car with the radiator cap off?

Does it matter?

....curious

 

either way will work, but i recommend the valve at thermostat. it just seems like the proper way to do it.

Yea i broke mine, damn alum broke off.

Ive got some JB on it now, thinkin if i shoulkd replavce the thermo housing or just use radiator to get air out. JB is holdin fine so... i dunno

 

just use the radiator cap then, give the hoses a couple good squeezes and you should be good.

 

i do both..

 

dont let the thermostat open. once it does the coolant starts squrting when the fan kicks on... i guess all i can say is, coolant is very hot... this i know from experience.

 

&lt;---------------- did i just hammer myself?

 

back from the dead


so which one do most of you guys prefer?

 

bleeding form the thermostat housing is the proper way in my book

 

You do both... Very suprised that so many of you get it wrong. Must mean that the Helms ins't plentiful here. As those TWO locations can BOTH have air in them that gets stuck. Basically they're the two highest points.

Gee. That's what my helms says too.

 

that's right. open the cap, open the bleeder, turn up the heat, idle the car, and top off the radiator afterwards.
