haha made you look. So was looking throught past posts to so exectly how to bleed the air out. I found that the front of the car should be 18" higher then the front. Is this true? This seems really high. I got it up 13" (no viagra), so i'm going to try and bleed it.

Also in the instructions it says to take it for a drive. do you lift the front up again when you get back home to bleed it? or leave it down.

I have a ? on your overflow bottle. The picture shows the hose connecting in high on the top. Is that expansion tank the kind that draws coolant back out of the overflow bottle when the system cools? If so the coolant level looks too low to allow it to do that... unless there is an internal tube in the bottle immersed under the coolant that doesn't show...?

Thanks;

Mike, I think you are just looking at the over flow line. If you look closely behind the tank in his picture, there is a larger black tube that shoots towards the overflow tank. That is the one that probably (should) go to the expansion/filler. The one you are looking at just keeps coolant from burping into the trunk.
