[QUOTE="bluzuk80, post: 489174, member: 879"] Having a problem getting the air out of my cooling system. Im running a LS1 pump, Griffin Radiator, coolant running through chassis. When I first fired up engine I had problems getting the coolant to flow like everyone. Ended up cracking some fittings loose and adding coolant, would run here in the shop or raising hell cutting donuts and not get over 195 with one fan going. thought everything was working great. Went to Grayrock this weekend and almost everytime I would get the front end up pretty high for any good amount of time it would get hot fast. Drop it down on flat ground, bleed the steam out of the fitting closest to the water pump, add a little water and it would be fine. Or I could just turn around and set the rear end up high and the air would move to the radiator, cool off super fast like cutting a switch on. This morning I picked front end up on lift, let it get hot and tried bleeding the air out. A lot of steam/air but it still running hot. Im thinking after you bleed it with front end elevated should it cool of right away or should it after you let it sit back level on the ground where air will got back to radiator cap??? BTW I have an LS6 intake so I blocked off the rear steam ports and have the front tied together, bled it at the ports also. Maybe adding a bleeded at the pump would make it easier to get air out?
