Here's a nice little tip for bleeding the system. Remove the pisser hose from the radiator (the small one that goes from the radiator to the expansion tank). Fill the expansion tank with coolant, blow through the pisser hose (try not to ingest any coolant) until it comes out the radiator (where you just removed the line from). Be sure to keep the coolant at a suitable level in the tank, or you will be blowing air back into the system. This works best if the system is already dry*.
