Try this: Use A drill bit aproximately 1/16inch, Drill A hole in the flatest part of the T-stat in the tin part not the expansion valve, Reinstall it and fill with water. This will let all the air out so it does not have to get the engine really hot before the T-stat opens. burp the water line get the air out of the system Answer #3 Air in the cooling system. Answer #1 is a good answer but going after the thermostat a second or third time is a pain. There's a water transfer / crossover tube on the top of the engine. In the center of the tube is a square hole that a ¼" drive ratchet or breaker bar will fit. Standard counter clockwise rotation will remove it. You can then finish filling the cooling system through that hole until the full level when cold is reached in the coolant recovery plastic bottle. Screw lid back onto the crossover pipe start engine & run until thermostat opens. Your done. Then the next morning before you start your engine, check water level in the coolant recovery plastic bottle and adjust as necessary. drl
