A suggestion on how to bleed the air out. There is a new tool available that locks into the radiator cap and uses shop air to create a vaccum in the cooling system. First drain all the coolant you can get to easily, then hook up the sucker. In only a few minutes you will have a nice vaccum going. Shut the air valve, put the fill line in the replacement coolant, and open the valve. Since the system is in vaccum, no air to block up in the high spots thus a complete fill. If you run out of suction before it's full, lock the filler and suck on it a little more. Works like a charm on MR2's and all the difficult cars I have seen so far. Check with your local mechanic or tool dealer.
