1 - Drain all the coolant
2 - Jack the nose of the car up and set it on jack stands
3 - Uncap the over fill res
4 - Uncap the crossover tube
5 - Start filling the system from the crossover tube
6 - Continue to fill until the coolant level reaches the full line in the over fill res
7 - Cap the over fill res, and continue to fill from the crossover tube
8 - Fill the system until you have an inch or two of fluid in your funnel
9 - Fire the car up, turn the heat on full
10 - Give all the hoses a few squeezes
11 - You will see bubbles rising in the funnel
12 - Let the car get all the way to temp and run until you see it stop bubbling
13 - Shut the car off, loosen the over fill res just enough to drop the level out of the funnel, but make sure the crossover is filled to the top
14 - Cap everything and let the car down
15 - Run it through a few heat cycles keeping an eye on the level
