    I"ve bled my system three times now without any issue (stock set-up). I use the bleeder on the thermostat housing after raising the rear of the car as high as possible.

    Bled the system with Ozzie's instructions. Not as messy as I thought it would be. Coolant came out at the radiator in a constant steady stream but I was expecting a gusher. Same deal at the engine... good flow but not supper high pressure.

    Took it for a brief trest drive and all seemed well. I'm going to risk driving to work tomorrow - about 5 miles.

    Thanks to all who chimed in.
