Default Help with coolant..

Hi, I have a 98 Type R engine and I did a hasport mount swap to replace my broken mounts... when I went to burp the coolant system the top Radiator hose is still empty? the car got to normal temp but the fans never kicked on.. it ran for a while and never went past the normal temp, went for a drive and still the top hose is empty.... can someone help?

Thanks

bleed it with the bleeder on the thermstat housing, let it get hot/normal temp and crack the bleader open, keep doing it or leave it open until is a solid stream. It kinda sounds like your thermostat is stuck closed but is would be over heating

leave the cap off while it gets up to temp and wait for the coolant to start moving then you know the thermostat is open, and coolant is flowing. Repalce the cap back onto the radiator wait for the system to come up all the way to operating temperature and then squeeze the top hose if it feels hot (dont burn yourself) and it is solid coolant is flowing and your sytem is pressurized from there crack open the bleeder screw till all the air is gone
