Default coolant bled -

ive a swirl pot that looks after that problem!!!
---but you can change the blead screw to a brake bleed nipple {with rubber cover} that way if you use it you can attach a small bore hose and not get antifreeze/water all over the place and makes things controlable!!!!-----the rubber cover on the nipple finishes it off-----------

The gurgling is good as it shows air is being drawn out of the system into the expansion tank as designed.
