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...
