I fill the radiator and the outlet on the water pump. No problems.

Jacking up the front end to get the radiator cap to the highest point helps also. Pulling a steam vent is the real key.

I also leave the cap off and continue to fill after the T-stat opens, also reving a little too.
Take a short drive with a few good "test runs", let cool, and re-check level (1" or so below fill neck for expansion)
