How do you ensure there is no air lock when replacing a thermostat?
First you need to run the engine until the thermostat opens, you will see the water running through the radiator. the coolant will go down into the radiator You need to continue to add coolant until you don't see anymore air coming up, or coolant go down into the radiator maybe three times that the thermostat opens. When you have got most of the air out you will see the water running inside of the radiator then stop when the thermostat closes. Cycle it two or three times to be sure.
