you missed one small part.

hes calling the entire cooling system pressurized.. and it is compared to the atmosphere... hes saying the coolant air bleed line must lead into the system, and that is correct.


im saying WITHIN the cooling system, you have areas with more pressure then other areas. for example, the suction side of the pump has less pressure then the pressure side.


if you lead the line to a higher pressure part of the system, the line becomes "dead".. no coolant flow, it just sits there.

if you lead it to somewhere where it can go to a lower pressure side, such as the radiator return line, either of the end tanks, ect... then it can flow fluid.

when it has a constant flow of fluid, the air bubbles will move. eventually they get to the radiator end tank, and go out the cap.

is that clearer?
