    Any clues? There's no air or liquid coming out. I pulled my tensioner to replace the elbows and then topped off the coolant. Let it run mostly bubble free under the rad cap, topped off again and now I'm not getting anything from the bleeder.

    Is the coolant up to temp yet? It won't come out until the t stat opens if I remember right. Or the bleeder is clogged with shmegma.

    Top off the coolant in the LIM first.

    Then the rad and bleed it.

    Sorry, was at football game all day. I had the bleeder screw completely off and nothing. It was up to temp. Check it again in the morning, been a long day. Drove it to the game and coolant temp was right on point, coolant levels looked fine in rad and overflow.
