overheating

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

And ON TOPIC (wow, that's a change eh?), last time I did coolant stuff, I 
think I actually got it right, (now don't everyone die of shock) and it 
never DID overheat or burp. I filled both the block and the rad from that 
upper rad hose, warmed the car slightly and squeezed that upper rad hose at 
the bend (you know, the one that's always "glad to see you" when it gets 
hot?) and that gurgled a few bubbles into the reservoir. Then the usual 
round of hot steamy runs was used to burp it, but it never did need to burp. 
If there is still air in there, carry along some coolant and carefully pop 
the cap off the reservoirs to release the bubbles / refill. repeat. It's 
messy, but most of the good things in life are. Once it stops overheating, 
you can stop burping it. HTH.
