Air in cooling system

ChevyII · 07-09-2008, 02:45 PM

Any quick tips to remove air from my cooling system?

The engine is a 434 Shafiroff SBC using a Brodix dominator intake. I installed some coolant lines from the front to rear of intake and now it seems I am getting air trapped in cooling system. The rad is mounted lower than the raised CSR water inlet installed on the intake.

Motor is running warmer than usual. Lean jetting requiring bigger jets?

Could this also be caused by the engine diapers we are now all running?

Any tips would be appreciated.
