Hey all, Well, my water pump went in no problem, and now I am hearing the gurgling that plagues any radiator work. I assume it's air trapped in the heater core. What is the proper method for eliminating this? Thanks again, Chuckster |

Run engine at idle with cap off expansion tank, top up as necessary. Do this with heater on and for short periods only |

Try loosening the plastic plug on top of the radiator while the car is idleing until a steady flow of coolant comes out. Dont tighten too much so it doesnt snap off. Also, squeeze a hose or two (the Disco's). |

Be careful, or have an EXTRA one on hand. I twisted mine Right OFF, and into two parts...had to wait a week to get another...it doesn't take much, and BE SURE TO NOT OVERTIGHTEN it when you put that little thing back...so annoying. |
