ontherun987 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I am going to replace the lower radiator hose on my 1987 gl, do I need to "burp" it after? If so, how do I burp it? ( I kind of a noob question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes you have to burp it. I park mine with the front end up hill with the heat on, fill the radiator all the way, push front end of car up and down a few times to help get the air out and run it for a while with the cap on and reservoir filled to the full line. keeping your eye on the temp gage. Let it cool a little then run it on level ground with the cap off so you can see the fluid.You will see the air bubbles coming to the top. Have a catch basin under the car when you do that. I'm going to be working on a mod to either put an air bleed valve on either the goose neck or on the highest point of the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
