Ok, So, i have an ej205 in my car and until recently ive had just a hose going from one end of the heater pipes to the other. But lately i got the big idea to move to the 20th century and so i added a heater core up front. this meant ~ 20' of 5/8" heater hose (autozone was just thrilled) filled the hoses with water added a bleeder and BAM heat......Or so i thought. My car ran consistently 170-180 now at idle im around 207-208 and it climbs to 230 before im too scared to drive more. ive been attempting to bleed it for three days scolding myself all along they way. What have i done wrong or what can i try, ive been on hills stopped suddenly and swerved hardcore. is it possible that now my car just runs hotter or is there a magic trick for removing air please help!
