coolant bleeding m60 engine

[lvdxd00]

How do you bleed the coolant system on a m60 v8 engine?
Where is the bleed screw? Is there one.
Also I have taken the viscous fan off as I think it has siezed. car runs great, picks up quicker and acording to the temp gauge it isnt overheating
AUX fans are inop

There is no bleeding screw on the M60. The coolant expansion tank is at the high point. Air comes to the top. It is self bleeding.

You took off the fan that sits on the water pump? Wait till you get into some heavy traffic, you will overheat.

pick up a new clutch and fan. When it doesnt need cooling the fan takes like .1 hp when locked however takes about 5hp. just an example, no clue how much it takes when locked but you can definitely tell it takes some power away.

removed the belt driven cooling fan also? You must like driving that Focus around, since that may become your dailydriver soon.

I have taken off the viscous cooling fan now and fitted an 15" electric puller fan, I am using the aux fans wiring and relays.
Seems to work ok.
Sorry for the late reply but had problems posting

If you're having trouble bleeding up an M60 engine, it's amost always the top bleeder line that's blocked somewhere.

On the left/top side of the radiator there's a tiny hose that runs upto the top expansion bottle. Remove this at the radiator, remove the expansion cap off the expansion bottle and blow down the hose. You should be able to move a fair bit of air down the hose, if you can't it's blocked somewhere and you've found out why it wont bleed up :)

Another thing to do is add as much coolant as you can and start the engine, let it run upto temp adding more coolant as it drops. This usually gets around a blocked breather line.

Pull the coolant cap and check where the bleeder line runs into the filler neck. It can clog. You can open it up with a 3/8 drill bit and a hand drill
