leave the expansion tank cap off heater on full till it reachs normal temp then should be done
if you squeze the pipes while it is warminup gently should get any air in the system out

Dunno if it helps, but, there's a little screw on top of the thermostat housing, I usually take it off when filling up with coolant to help air escape.
