[QUOTE="SVT CAMR, post: 10833728, member: 83181"] I did not hear you say you had any problems with over heating so your good! I would just take to crossover cap off watch the bubbles till they go away and let it idle and puke a little. I use a small baby funnel and stick it in the cross over hole and it fits snug with no leaks. So when the level rises a little it stays in the funnel. The car just needs to idle and you will see bubbles after a while you will see a steady flow stream inside the tube. I would keep the expansion tank cap off for as long as possible. At some point it will have to go back on because things get messy. Here is how I do it. After flushing out the motor and blowing out all the clear water with a air compressor I begin the fill process. I have the crossover plug remove and the expansion tank cap removed. I fill as much 50/50 coolant as possible into the cross over tube. I wait till it goes down and just keep filling till I can't. I then start the car and keep filling through the crossover tub. I know I'm getting close when I start seeing coolant coming up into the expansion tank. At some point I put the cap of the expansion on because there will be a mess if I do not. With the car still running and expansion tank cap on I just keep keep filling through the cross over tube till the expansion tank says full. Now I watch the bubbles come out of the cross over tube and wait for the t-stat to open. Then At some point if I can I remove the cap on the expansion tank and fill some more through the cross over tube. At some point the cap goes back on the expansion tank and I watch the bubbles with the car still running. Once ALL the bubbles are gone and I mean ALL of them I can put the coolant crosser over cap back on when I see a steady stream. Before this happens somewhere in the middle of things the car will puke coolant this is normal and just keep filling and waiting for the level to be reached and the bubbles to go away. [B]It is not a quick process.[/B] The longer you wait for the bubbles to escape the better off you are. After driving around for a day I relieve the pressure of the expansion tank a couple of times and watch the level. Done. I have NEVER had a problem.
