Subject:      Air in the coolant system 87
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hey there,




  I was wondering about the nature of air in the system. I just replaced a
short hose and instead of bleeding the old fasion way I have ben driveing
around untill it is hot, park on a hill nose up and crack the bleeder valve
and let some bubbles out. I repeat the process several times untill no
bubbles.


  After the second time there were no bubbles and I thought that was stange.
And back in the engine I noteced some coolant dripping from the thermastat
housing unit. The unit is a year or so old. Could there be air traped in
there or something?


Brian ( insanity due to coolant system)
