....Remove the thermostat from the housing and drill two small 1/8" holes in the flat part of the flange, just inside the gasket area. Position these holes at the top when you re-install and the system will tend to self bleed as you are running it up to temp..... been used by racers for years..

Good Luck!

Tom....Thank for the tip, I'll try it! Much safer also.
