this is the way i did it, dont know if its right.


jacked the frontend of the car up as far as i could, unscrewed the radiator cap.

turned the engine on and let it run for 10 min until the coolant got a lil warm, monitored the tempy and watched for bubbles...

any other effective way?

put it over your shoulder,and pat,pat,pat,pat...till it gives you one nasty burp..watch it though it might spit up a little..LOL!!

I don't think you need to worry about the 5.0 in that regard. I never have. I just fill 'er up run it a bit and refill, then fill the overflow tank and it's good to go. I never had a problem.

the midget under my hood didnt want to burp...


STUPID BASTARD BURP G00DAMMMITT!!!

I had my 82 capri overheat cause of air in the water pump, all I do now is fill it up, and with the upper hose off the intake side pour the coolant in there, then squeeze the bottob rad hose and it'll burp it out.
I had to do this a couple of times before all the air was out.
hope this helps.

never heard of that technique, ill try it, but wont coolant spill everywhere when you unclamp the upper rad hose from the intake?
