I was trying to bleed my system today. m52 with m20 clutch fan and m20 radiator and late model overflow tank.
jacked up the front 2 feet, filled system it took 2 1/4 gallons, turned heater on full blast, started car and kept topping up whenever it was low. squeezed top hose a bunch of times until bubbles stopped coming out of the overflow hole.
now at temp lots and lots of hot air coming out of the vents. rev'ed it up a few times to make sure to flow the coolant into all the spots didn't take much more coolant maybe 2.5 gallons in total.
i had a obd2 reader hooked up the whole time to make sure of the actual temp reading. it went past 195 and straight on up to 217 before i just turned it off.
now here is the weird thing. top rad hose was burning hot and the bottom hose and the entire radiator were both stone cold, like just at room temp cold.
still air in the system? if so how to fix that? squeeze the bottom hose too?
or maybe thermostat(it is brand new)?
