Got it, Chappy .. thanks for the tip! I missed the part about having the engine running. Wondering if this same process applies to the radiator bleed valve?

Running about 1/3 antifreeze to 2/3 distilled water, plus a bottle of Red Line Water Wetter.

You might have to do it a couple of times to get all the air out.
