Hey bruggz351,

I have known my system to still loose air for over a week, sometimes 2. It has to go through several cold and hot cycles to get it all the air out.

The first time it is filled, I go for a run and then make sure I fell the heat around the system by feeling/squeezing the hoses and radiator as you have done.

In the beginning of the process, after the first burp I over fill the over flow bottle by an inch or so sometimes 2 inches just to make sure it has enough coolant to draw back in when cooling.

Over the next 2 weeks I make sure that the over flow bottle is full and check it after each run until I am convinced it has finished and I am confident that it is finished. Yes annoying.............
