Car Details:I currently own a honda civic type r EP3 and a 1997 trans am in red
I have recently replaced the antifreeze in my trans am and created an air lock in the system. I have been told they are a pain to sort out. I know there are two bleed valves but I have had no success in getting the water light on my dash to go out. I am worried as when I get stuck in traffic the heat rises considerably. Does anyone know of a how to guide to sort this pRoblem. Thanks in advance on this.

Car Details:1986 Camaro, bought into Spain by me in 1993.
305 replaced by a 355, 750 Demon carb, RPM AirGap intake, Brodix heads, Hedman Hedders, 3" Flowmaster exhaust.
Wheels are Summit aluminium 5 spokes, tyres are 245 rear 225 front BF Goodrich.
B/M transmission, battery relocated to the rear, GoodMark 4" cowl steel hood.
Location:Spain East Coast
I fill my rad with the new coolant not quite to the top and run the motor until
the thermostat opens, you can see the coolant start to flow.
Then I shut it off replace the cap and fill the overflow canister to the hot level.
As it cools down the system sucks water in from the canister and you should be airlock free.
Top up overflow canister as needed.
