I know a lot's been written about bleeding cooling systems, some contradictory so I'm looking for some clarification.
I just replaced the heater core on my '95 Impala and went through the process of bleeding my cooling system.
I let the car idle for 20 to 30 minutes until my T-stat opened and opened the bleeder getting a steady stream of coolant each time.
I took the car for a short drive and the temp stays as it's always been.
I've read conflicting advice...one guy says you don't need to bleed if all you did was replace the heater core while most people says to bleed anytime you open the cooling system.
My question is...is running the car at idle for 20 to 30 minutes enough to push any air up to the T-stat to bleed it out? Like I said, that's what I did and I got no air each time I opened the bleeder.
Thanks in advance.
