Fill up the
system with as much coolant as it will hold (this will leave air trapped as I
mentioned - but not to dispare) - fire up the engine and let idle with the
radiator cap off. Let it run for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes,
then shut it down. You will find that the system will now take more
coolant. Do this a couple or three times never running it for over tw0
minutes at a time and refilling the system each time.
Thanks for the
procedure Ed. I had figured this would be one of the times
that the EWP would come in handy, since you can circulate water without running
the engine. Since the water won't be heating, and expanding, I should
be able to run it until all the bubbles are worked out of the system.
Still hard to believe air will flow downhill to get out of the evap cores
though.
I don't have
much clearance over the top of the cores, so I don't think I could
install anything permanent, but perhaps I could weld a small 1/2" x 1/2" x
1/8" plate to the top of the tank on each core. I could then drill
and tap a 1/8" NPT hole, and put a small plug in it after the
system was filled. Now that I think about it, that might be the high
point of my system on the ground, so I might even be able to top off the system
through those holes. Just too many
decisions...

make it to the hanger to scope out my new intake- thanks
