| assuming header tank is at the highest point in the system, try jacking the car up to excentuate this, then start engine and run till its hot (ie fans cutting in intermittently), then rev it up to about 4-5000 revs and hold for 10 seconds with the cap off. you should see the level rise. eventually it will spew out, and produce a plume of steam as it evaporates on the hot parts of your engine bay. try this several times, topping up each time. eventually the air lock will clear itself, assuming you havent got a leak somewhere, and it will find its own natuarl level in the system.
- based on my own experience and advise gained from others trying to get air out from an SD1 RV8 in a Sumo.
just a thought - is your header tank one with a single inlet at the bottom, or does it have tow inlets (one at top, and one at bottom)? - mine has the latter.
