lt1 bleeding well my rad was low cold so i filled it up, started it, let it pull more in, filled it more, opened the bleeder when it got to temp. waited till the thermo opened and sucked more down, bleeder open still, poured more in until it overflowed at the rad neck, shut it down, took a rag and wiped it down and put the cap on the rad. i ran it for 15 mins and the temp was fine and no burping antifreeze.
my question was this: i have one bleeder screw on my lt1 (96 z28 m6)
i see they should have two? i have one at the water pump, at the goose neck. the one that is on the metal t-fitting, is not there, because the metal t-fitting is not there (right under the alternator.) does it matter? or should i get a t-fitting and get the correct rad hose (looked like someone just grabbed an extra long hose and put it on)
car is fine now, was an issue with it overheating at idle, figured was just low on coolant so i put some in and made sure there was no air in it. gonna run it longer tomorrow to see how it works out. thanks guys.
