is there a bleed screw for the cooling system
 
hi all, got my car running again last nite :banana: after 8 months of it not been started :eek: i had the cooling system filled with water and after running it for 10 mins when i knocked it off i heard a gurglling sound like there was air in the system somewhere, is there a bleed screw and if so where is it ??? the water will be changed for coolant before i drive it etc etc

On top of the thermostat housing :).

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.
