Re: Burping
It is the highest point in the cooling system, but if you leave it open with the engine running, coolant is likely to start spurting out. Now if you could find and attach a gizmo that would let air out, but not coolant, that would be cool. So to speak.
Try this:
Fill the cooling system as best you can, and close everything up.
Make sure the coolant reservoir is about 2/3 full, and mark the level on the outside of the bottle with a sharpie pen or the like.
Warm up the engine and watch the temperature.
If it goes much over 200 oF, shut it back down and wait for it to cool.
When totally cool, see where the coolant level is on the reservoir.
If it hasn't changed, the system is not pulling coolant from the reservoir to bleed the system as it should.
If that's the case, a faulty radiator cap (or the wrong size) is often the cause.
