Default bleeding the rad? Helpp!

I was driving my car around after the windstar swap. I also took out the lower intake to port an a d polish it during the install. During this i guess an there were air when i was bubbles when i put the lower back on. Today whern i was driving my car around it was overheating like crazy. I think the reasonis because of the air bubbles inside the system. So i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to bleed the rad/cooling system that would be amazing! Also any other opinions on why it could be over heating??

Thanks again!

Windstar swap? Please explain. How did you go about refilling the cooling system? Exactly.

Bleed it like you would bleed the system after you do a radiator swap. Just start the car, then leave the radiator cap off and let the bubbles come out.

Oh, sorry. Haha i was typing on a really wierd keyboard. I also found out that my heat wasn't working inside the car, so i changed the thermostat.I believe it was stuck closed. Also im going bleed rad properly in just a few minutes when my gasket maker hardens up where the thermostat is. After that... i have another problem to ask you about... its relevant to an air leak in the windstarupper intake manifold. Problems just keep on coming...
