Car wont cool down Just finished my cam swap. Everything is working smooth except for the fact that the car wont cool down.
It is full of coolant and everything. It will get up to 230-240 and then I get scared and shut it off.
Anything special I have to do to get the cooling system to work again after it has been drained?

Yeah the fans kick on and everything.
tried taking the cap off...probably started it 3 or 4 times, took the cap of etc....would still get to 230-240 and I shut it down.
So just keep on trying this?

For me the adding a little while the engine was running did not work. It would not purge itself.

Sometimes the air can be a real bitch to get out of the cooling system and plays games with the temp sensor which can only detect temperature of liquid (submersible) not air temperature. That's why you'll see the gauge jump around a lot.
