Default Coolant bleed bolt on J30 (Accord V6)

I just drained and refilled my coolant, but I need to bleed the air bubbles out. I can't find the bleed bolt/nipple used for that. I was told that it was by the thermostat housing, but don't see anything there.

Anybody know where it is?

Well if I said that, I didn't know you had a V6. T'stat housing is where the bleed screw is on my '98 4cyl.

Yeah I'm thinking it might not have a bleed bolt. I looked at a RSX FSM and the K-series doesn't use a bleed bolt at all.

So maybe Honda did away with it on newer engines...

There's some older engines that don't have one either. Just depends on whether there's a spot for bubbles to hang out. If they can run all the hoses in a way that lets all the air go to the radiator, they don't need one.
