Related to the heater? In what way?
I know this morning I drove to work and bled the air out in the front
and that was after hearing it gurgle... I decided I might as well do it
because my wife is taking her family for a trip in it, and she will be
working it pretty hard, and probably will forget everything I tell her
about how to bleed it and top off coolant if it gets low, and how to
monitor the gauges... especially with the distractions of the rest of
the family in the van... LOL I cant wait till I can afford the time and
money to do a Subie conversion... I own 2 subarus now, and love the
motor, and its reliability... I cant wait to do the conversion and call
it done... reliability breeds confidence...

That's what I was worried about too. If you get any better answers than
I,
please let me know. Joel Walker thought it might be related to the
heater.

I have had the same thing happen, but in my case I cant seem to fully
bleed the system, and I think that I may still have air in the lines
which is causing the gurgle... I also have feared for some time that I
may be producing air through a faulty head gasket, is this a
possibility?
