toyota with rear radiator?

[rockwhore]

anyone running a radiator in the back of a toyota buggy? i would like to run one in the rear of my buggy but couldnt get it to "burp" completly.
i parked it on a steep incline (nose down) to fill the system. ran it for couple months. constantly ran hot, boiled over. kept trying and finally
put rad back in front. is the water pump just too weak? any help will be appreciated.

My Buggy did the same thing after blowing a hose and refilling. The trick I found is to remove the thermostat housing and fill the radiator until it runs out of the engine block. If you can pull the water pump belt and turn the pulley by hand you can get most of the air out.

thanks for the advice. so is yours still in rear with factory water pump pushing it? are you running a toyota radiator? is the buggy in your avatar a toyota?
thanks for replying.

It also helps if you put a petcock upfront at the highest place on the engine !

thanks for the replys guys. this should help tremendously. i have cut off all my cage and am starting to build back, from a 5 seater to a two seater. really wanted radiator in the rear to change the shape
of the buggy more. trying not to be soooo square.

Find somebody with an Airlift that can pull a vacuum on the system and fill it up. Most auto repair shops have one.
