    Per Scotty-
    open the rad cap (while car is cold), start engine and let the car idle till the fans come on, then open the bleeder screw till a solid stream of coolant comes out. then shut the screw, top off the rad,and cap it.

    if your having a heat problem, take the hoses for the core off the engine and flush/fill the core. bleeding the engine wont help get the heat back.

    If you have air trapped and can't seem to get it out. Remove the two 10mm bolts on the thermostat housing and pull the thermostat. Fill right into the lower intake, then replace stat and housing.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Ok, if you still think you have some air.. overfill the overflow bottle and let the engine get up to temp and cool down a few times.

    Or... get yourself the best coolant funnel on the market.

    I slap Mr. Funnel on there and run the car. It is the best funnel I've ever used for cooling systems.

    That funnel is awesome, but there was that one time it went flying and took out the bulbs on the ceiling. Be careful when working with hot fluids.

    I have my way but maybe there's a right way to do it.
