I'm just wondering what causes this water to rise and fall in the video below. I open the bleeder on the heat exchanger while filling it with water. So I know thats full of water. Is this normal operation? Or is there still air in there.
Water pump is wired to run constantly. The car is not running in this video, you are hearing the fans running. I forgot to shut them down.  Thanks guys, DEF --------------------  I will return one day. |

I think this coming weekend I'll be flushing mine and doing a distilled/wetter mix.

It will corrode your aluminum. I use distilled water and a non corrosive water coolant additive. This stuff is made for race cars, recommended by a few old school racers. I'll get the name of the product over the weekend for you. I have the bottle in my car. Fans are running in this video. -------------------- I will return one day. |
