Air Locks

Postby Wimaway » Thu Feb 28, 2019 6:39 pm

I think I've got some Air Lock in my Cooling System ,on 4JG2 Bighorn 3.1 Turbo
I jack up the Front of my Bighorn up and remove the Bottom Heat hose and Top Heating Hose under the Hood ,

I've turn the Water hose on the Bottom Hose pumping Water through feed the Water through and trying remove all the Air Locks , has any one found a better way to remove Air Locks in the Cooling System or any other tips etc , It better but not 100% I think

Heater on full is a must. I generally just run mine with the cap off keeping an eye on temperature and level. Also give it a good rev every now and then. This has always worked for me
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
