Should just be a matter of letting it idle up to temperature with the heater on full. You can squeeze the radiator houses to help burp some air out. Leave the overflow cap off and make sure there is always coolant in there during the process. Then just keep an eye on the level and temps over a few days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
