Check the coolant level. Bled

Check the coolant level. Bled the air from the cooling system.

If no bleeder screw is provided: fill the system to within 3 inches from the top of the radiator. Start the engine (leave the radiator cap off). allow the engine to run--keep the water level at 3 inches from top. As the engine runs and heats up air will escape through the open radiator cap.

Once the cooling fans come on, fill the system completely and install the cap. Test drive.
