hola guys. well i wanted to flush the entire system today. But having a bad past in flushing my camaro (the only car i know that holds air in the line like a air compressor lol) im weary. i just wanna know if im going about this right.
1) remove coolant reservoir and clean the gunk out. Replace.
2) remove lower radiator hose
3) stick garden hose in radiator and let run for some time until water coming from disconnected rad. hose is clear.
4) i know there is a bleeder valve on top of the thermostat cap. After i reconnect the radiator hose i imagine i just open the bleeder valve and fill the radiator up until the hissing is finished.
if i skipped anything let me know. thanks a lot :beerchug:

Removing the thermostat and filling through there will help a lot, as that will fill the engine full of coolant, have a lot fewer air bubbles. Loosen the small screw on the bleeder and leave it open until the coolant coming out seems to be a constant stream w/ no bursts of air.
