M50 bleeding

[tgrandahl]

I feel like an idiot but cant find this anywhere, where is the bleed valve on the m50 engine. I can plainly see the one on the radiator even though it labeled in german, there is nothing on or around the thermostat i just replaced. Do i have to pull this thing out and drill that hole? I have three hours to bleed this thing and get going

The bleed screw on the radiator is the only one you need to loosen. Matter of fact, you'll hear it hiss if you loosen just enough pouring coolant.

oh, so other than that regarding most other bleeding procedures posted for the m20 just run the pump and wait for the thermostat to open and the level to drop?

open the bleed screw on the radiator and fill.

I get impatient, so I also blow into the reservoir to force the air out until coolant flows out the bleed screw.

Don't forget to run the heater to get any trapped air out
