Oh hey guys.

[Danny]

Yeah, the M20 cooling system nearly bleeds itself since the recovery tank is nearly at the highest point. It really helps to drill that little hole in the thermostat. Otherwise you will have to allow it to crack open by itself, which isn't always easy to do with air in the system.

I'd try a fast idle, neighbors be damned for a short while.

Bouncing between 1k and 3k you think? Or just hold at 2k?

[FredK]

Nah just hold it at 2 - 2.5k. The thermostat's gotta crack open, though.

[Danny]

How will I know when it cracks open?

[FredK]

When the hose gets warm.

[Danny]

The lower hose you mean, yeah?

[Matt-B]

Danny, I believe e36 radiators that have expansion tank connected and also mine (M42) are designed for a very specific reason...

There is a bleeder screw next the the filler cap. Unscrew coolant comes out and close it. :)
I know its a PITA but I recommend the m42 rad to anyone swapping. less hoses and other BS.

[Danny]

Thanks Matt.

And I'm assuming you mean the lower hose Fred, just gonna go with that.

Off to work now, bleeding when I get home in 6 hours.

[FredK]

Yes. It probably feels soft and full of hot air right now.




Sort of like Farbin Kaiber?

Danny, burnout video.

[Danny]

And she's a driver.

[Adrian_Visser]

I'll get one tomorrow if I feel like crawling under the car.

We'll have to compare, tomorrow I will be making one for my swap.

[Wh33lhop]

Vids.

We need them.

[Danny]

Is too loud :x

[Danny]

The m20 downpipes will bolt to my s50 right?
