rear radiator bleed valve

[chrome]

what are the options for a air bleed valve in the cooling system when running a rear mount??? iv chucked a air fitting on one of the old heater hoses so i can always run it higher than the engine.
any ideas if this will work??? might get too hot perhaps???

well i have just finished mounting my radiator and getting it plumbed in i have a bleed at the top of the radiator and at the top hose on the motor.


as long as the bleed is at the highest point on your truck you shouldnt have a problem.

sounds good, what did u use for the bleed valve???

i got a bleed valve off a radiator guy and soldered it to a bit of pipe which wasnt the right size so it made it a prik to get the hose on. you can buy bleeder valves from ripco i think.

You could grab a bleed valve and clear hose (to raise height during bleed) from the front trunk of an sw20 mr2. They run radiator up front and motor in back so need one.

i had no issues with my system filling and bleeding..

put water in..

bled itself.

my radiator is higher than engine though..

and yeah, i know, of no use what-so-ever..

cheers guys, my radiator is also higher than the mota
in the end i welded a nipple on the top bend that i made up and chucked a ball valve on it.... budget as but effective.
dosn get hot at all. what temp is a good one for standard running???

my radiator is also higher than motor but still needed a bleed valve
