How to bleed a ka radiator?

Post by Frosty_SPL »

I think that is the source of my overheating problem. (only overheats when stopped or creeping in traffic)

Thanks

stab it in the jugular hose.

open the rad cap, let the engine idle until the thermostat opens and bubble should start working their way out the radiator cap neck. it takes a WHILE to bleed.

on the engine where the top coolant hose attaches, there is a screw there.
