AFTER EVERYTHING COOLS DOWN, remove the radiator cap and put the proper coolant in. Start the car and rev the motor to about 1500 rpm for a few seconds. top the radiator off and replace the cap. now leave the motor running, but watch the temp gauge! It should climb to normal operating temp and then drop a little when the thermostat opens. (if it climbs higher than normal turn the motor off and let it cool down.) Turn the motor off and let it cool down. Remove the cap and top off, start the motor and fill until it's full.
