Cliff, You have air trapped in the system. The easiest way to illiminate this problem is to make the cooling system bleed itself and once you do this, you won't have to worry about bleeding the system again. Its real easy to do, and all you need is some hose, a T-fitting, and 4 small hose clamps. First off, take out the bleed screw (located in the thermostat housing) then cut the square end off of the back of the screw (the back end that is inserted into the thermostat housing) so it will be hollow. Re-insert the bleed screw and take a piece of hose and attach it with a hose clamp over the end of the bleed screw that sticks out of the thermostat housing. (Make sure you get it tight) Then take the hose and run it to the filler neck of the coolant bottle. There is a small hose going to the filler bottle; disconnect this hose and place a small piece of hose onto the filler bottle and attach the right end of the T to the small hose. Reconnect the other end of the hose that was on the filler bottle to the left end of the T. Now, connect the hose running from the bleed screw to the center of the T. That should solve you problem. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
