    oh, before you fire it up. turn the key to run, then go look for fuel leaks by the rain and injectors, if its all dry, fire it up.

    you see or smell gas turn the key off asap.

    turn the key to run, check for leaks, no leaks fire it up, then top off the rad as it takes it in the engine.

    you bleed it after its full and running for a while. when the fans come on. then bleed it.

    the rad only holds a gallon. every things normal.

    its ok, just cost more, my wallet didnt feel a thing.

    it will burp some when the t stat opens for like 2 seconds, the block was still full so theres a gallon or so still in there.

    check for gas leaks yet?

    it will only take what it takes, maybe a bit more of the second gallon.

    if you flushed it to clean water first, this is why i like straight antifreeze. cause it will mix with the water in the block.

    your mix will come up weak. if the block has water in it now and your using the pre mix.

    Ill just fill it up from time to time if need be. So youre thinking I might just need a bit more of the 2nd gallon?

    start the engine already lol

    as it runs the rad will drop, just keep topping it off as you wait for the fans to come on. once the fans come on bleed it, then top off if needed, cap it off. your all done.

    you could be waiting like 15 minutes or longer for the fans to turn on. FYI.

    Congrats!

    I'm away for one day ...and you've finished up etc. That's awesome. On burping the cooling system. I've found that the bleed screw is nothing more than a sick joke for GM engineers to get our clean engines coated in coolant.

    I let it run for a bit.. turn it off, let it run for a bit..turn off. The start/stopping will help burp.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Did you discover it before or after the coolant started pouring out? hahahaha
