one other thing my digital gauge help me sort.

after reading Rodgebones cooling Faq, he has obviously used a scan gauge on jeeps to monitor coolant temps

so i thought 105-112C was ok, as my gauge would read that sometime. (as he stated)

since doing NOTHING ELSE, but a very thorough bleed, it has never since exceeded 98C

this strongly suggests to me that any air in the system causes an issue, some vehicles are known for this...maybe jeep xj?

another poster listed his extreme method for doing this task
