Bill - This is something that many owners and mechanics don't seem to be aware of, and that is that the radiator *must* be bled as a separate step. The air in that end of the car will rarely find its way out through the engine compartment self-bleeder. And, as you hint in your post below, doing this task is not that much fun. There was a thread some time ago about people's favorite flavors of antifreeze that they enjoyed (in the face) during the radiator bleed operation. For this reason, check out part number K1017DP for the radiator, which is also part of our improved self bleeder kit K1012DP on the DPNW website. Bleeding air out has never been so easy and clean!
