BURP PROCEDURE?

[RRoller123]

I have searched quite a bit on the forum but can't find a detailed Burp Procedure. Anyone have one? Thanks.

Drink a 2 liter bottle of coke you will burp for hours.

do you have a flush tee on your heater core return line"it goes to the head"
well open your heater control
and fill up your rad and through the tee
let set for ten min and fill and wait and fill cap it run it till hot
let cool and see if it needs more

From our website:

Be sure the heater valve is open before starting to fill the radiator.
To do this process properly the upper radiator hose needs to have ‘flush ‘T’ installed. We sell this (part number CO0-001, $7.90), but they are also available form auto part stores as part of a flush kit. Take the cap off the flush ‘T’ before filling the radiator.
First prepare a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. The easiest way it to buy a gallon of antifreeze, pour half of it into another gallon container, then top both containers with water. Fill the radiator with the 50/50 mix, then squeeze the upper radiator hoses repeatedly to get the air out (watch for air bubbles coming out of the radiator’s neck). As the coolant level drops a bit, refill it, squeeze the hoses again and again, until no more bubbles appear. Install the radiator cap.
If the car is equipped with a bleed plug in the coolant outlet (front top of engine), remove it. Pour water slowly into the flush ‘T’ until it comes out of the bleed hole. Replace the bleed plug. Pour more water into the coolant ‘T’ until it is full. Replace its cap.
If there is not bleed plug in the coolant outlet, then just fill the flush ‘T’ until full, and replace its cap.
Make sure the coolant overflow bottle is about half full. Start the car.
Normally it will take 10-15 minutes for the engine to reach normal operating temperature. Watch the temperature gauge to be sure the engine temperature does not go over 210F.
When the needle is around the '0' of the 190 on the gauge, the thermostat should open (top and bottom hoses are close to the same temperature), and eventually the radiator fan should come on.
If the engine starts overheating, shut it off, and let it cool down (an hour or so). Repeat the bleeding procedure. I've had cars I had to bleed 2-3 times before the thermostat would open.
A common problem on Spiders with the external thermostats is that it fails to open after the cooling system has been filled and bled. If this happens after repeated attempts to bleed the system, there are two methods of overcoming it. The first one is to drill a small hole in the valve of the thermostat, so no air bubbles remain in it when filling the cooling system. The other is to force the valve open by putting an aspirin under it to keep it open. The idea is that water will circulate freely, so no air bubbles will remain in the thermostat, and the aspirin will dissolve soon thereafter, allowing the thermostat to close and work properly.
I am sure you are aware that you will be working with hot cooling system components, so watch out so you don't burn yourself!
