    i had just put in a new water pump an flushed my radiator...an assumin i still have air in my lines, cause shes runnin really hot! im new to this stuff so any kinda help would be appreciated.


    to release the air out would there be a screw lookin thing comin out of the top of my engine its right after the main hose that goes from my radiator to my engine? im not quite sure if that would be it

    Yes, the bleeder screw is the one on top of the thermostat housing. Open it slowly, and keep bleeding it and adding more to the radiator (not just the overflow tank), until you get coolant coming out with no air.
