Phaedra: Nothing gets my "jaw tight" like hearing a story like this. A slabhead mechanic who thinks he knows a car's "sound" better than the owner who has spent thousands of hours in it. Anyway, I have heard this slushing sound coming from air in the heater cores. He probably did not open the heat control valves when he bled the system. Try that. Keep an eye on the reservoir. This should be where air in the system should end up. If you have lead a good clean life the system will bleed it's self. Keep the level up in the overflow tank.
