302 V8 CFI coolant change July 17, 2008, 07:00:53 PM Hi!I'm gonna change coolant this weekend and I was wondering if 302 is pr0ne to taper air after filling it up with fresh coolant? The reason I ask is that 3.8 was hard to fill to the top until it warmed up (until I installed flushing tee I also use to release air from the system while filling up).Thanks!Mariusz...

302 V8 CFI coolant change Reply #1 – July 17, 2008, 09:45:09 PM Most cars these days have the same problem... Stems from a fully sealed thermostat(quicker warm up), cars of old had a small(maybe .050") hole in them so they would bleed out the air easily... What I do, is disconnect the heater hose on the intake and refill it till it starts running out, usually that gets enough in it to circulate... Quote Selected
