Is there a proper way to refill coolant to an engine that has been completely drained?
I like to leave the cap off and run the engine until the thermostat opens and circulation begins. That method gets the air out. Then top off and you should be good to go.
Green is good!Do we need to get into different antifreezes. I used the Auto Zone green.
I just figured out a way. Pull the top rad hose to expose the thermostat. Take a heat gun and heat the thermostat to make it open and allow trapped air to escape and full the radiator until coolant is at the thermostat. Your 90% there. Figure the only way to get air trapped in the heads out is to run the engine but at least I know the engine block is full.Is there a proper way to refill coolant to an engine that has been completely drained?
