bleeding air from cooling system, how?

[boonie]

i,ve completed serviceing my cooling system(replaced radiator) now how do i install the new coolant without creating air pockets,or better yet how do you bleed the air from the cooling system?
thanks boonie

On my 92 lt1 there is a small screw on the thermostat housing that will allow you to bleed most of the air out of the cooling system. I was a little surprised at how little coolant is in the system. good luck robert

Look for a second one on the throttle body. I think that is the highest point in the system.

Boonie, I posted a thread on bleeding a LT1 cooling system. My method worked great on my wife's LT1. Do a search, under forums, on "LT1 coolant bleeding". Hope this helps..Frank

Some one posted a tipusing a clear hose to put over the bleed screw and outher end in resivoir.I tried it and it and it worked good didnt get any fluid on the opti that way.
