[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 658948, member: 3103"] I've seen it done before, but have never done it personally. Drill two small holes on the flat skirt of the t-stat (what rides on the housing of the waterneck). This should allow any air to easily flow through upon start up versus waiting for the T-stat to open. This is normally done as a bypass to ensure that at least some water is always moving through the T-stat. However, most Windsor water necks have a bypass hose already running through it, but it circulates back into the water pump not out to the radiator. So any air gets pushed back into the block. A buddy mentioned he did it on his to help burp the air out as well. I'll try anything at this point, I'll run buck naked with a chicken hanging from my pecker if it'll help. [/QUOTE]
