Severe cooling issues

SPICcnmFD · 04-09-2009, 08:26 AM

BTW for burping when I got my engine installed I had a small oil leak that only leaked with the engine running so I jacked up the front of the car and let it run while I looked for that. I proceeded to burp the system as I looked for the oil leak, and I never had to burp it again after that one time.

So if you are refilling your coolant and don't want to burp the system 100 times, jacking up the front of the car and letting it run while you burp might solve that. I was amazed as I'm use to it taking 4-5 heat cycles.

The fill rate should be 1 gallon every ten minutes, which equals a very slow pour, but if you fill at that rate you will not have any air pockets in the system.
