Re: [Amc-list] Overflow, overflowing

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Did you get all the air out of the system? I rarely have a problem with 
that, but once in a while, air gets trapped and prevents water from 
contacting something in there (head, etc). I put one of thos ePrestone 
flush tap things in the literally top-most radiator hose; when I fill 
the radiator on my Hornet, with it warming up, I crack the Prestone 
thing cap loose, and a lot of air hisses out, then liquid.

Another thing that helps -- and this is so stupidly simple I can't 
believe they don't all come this way! -- is to drill a 1/6" or 1/8" hole 
in the thermostat (carefully) so that it flows a tiny bit of water even 
when closed.

The amount of water flow does nothing; but it allows air bubbles to leak 
through, and the system will self-purge (into the highest point, 
hopefully the radiator tank!).

I found this on the net, and it's one of those things that can't go 
wrong, even if it doesn't solve your problem no harm done.
