Take the top hose off the thermostat housing.

Ive always left the cap of the header tank whilst the engine is running for a bit with the heater on full speed on hot. It circulates all the water and lets the air out the top.

Fords dont have the bleed screw like some other makes as far as i know

JesseT

It bleeds automatically.

CosworthGuy

how does it bleed automatically if you just fill it up and screw the cap back on. the air need somewhere to go as it heats up and expands

JesseT

The small hose from the thermostat housing takes air to teh expansion tank, and the cap will went air both ways even when closed after a threshold pressure.

CosworthGuy

There may well be but from the description he's running a series one MFi. Unless its been converted to efi.
