Coolant air bleeder valve
I would recommend running one of the big and tall funnels that clips into the radiator cap position.
Run it up to full temp, burp the bubbles with a little revs (3000rpm or so) then allow it to cool.
Once it's cold, then remove the funnel and put the cap on.

I guess thats the professional method. I just run the engine and keep filling until it overflows and flowing thru the upper hose. I put extra on the reservoir. I should probably turn the heater on next time, it just never crossed my mind lol

Btw what should be the correct level of coolant? I guess after completing this process my radiator will be 100% full but what about this expansion tank? To be honest I never saw any fluid in there
The jiggle pin on the thermostat helps the system bleed.
I recently returned my OEM tools kit because it was leaking out of the cap. Which kit did you get? I would like to find one that is truly leak free. I wonder if it’s because my radiator is an old CBRD one so the neck/cap isn’t exactly OEM.
