[QUOTE="jarance, post: 436480, member: 21"] No, prime5 method is the best to purge the airlock in the cooling system. but MUST do it while the engine is COLD. I have seen my mechanic actually open and removed the bleeder nut. Then they start the engine and rev the engine hard. They will also put a plastic cap over the bleeder hole to prevent the water from shooting up in the air when the engine speed is high. When the water level is dropping they will keep adding water while purging the air the cooling system. Again while the engine is still COLD. [/QUOTE]
