Just a questions here. Alot of people seem to be going off on how important
it is to get all the air out of the system. now heres my question, does it
really matter to let it idle with the cap off? Wouldnt the air pockets end
up eventualy getting out into the resevior after the first full drive
anyways? So it wouldnt really matter if you let the air out of the system
right away, all you'd have to do is add coolant after the first drive?
just wondering...
