I started it and let it get warm and then checked the level, but without the heater on and the radiator cap was on? Is it too late too do that now, and will it make a difference do you think? thanx for everybodys help by the way.

you really need to circulate coolant through the heater core to remove all air. also the cap needs to be off.
