Post Almost done with my 160 thermostat install.....but I need help

How do I bleed the cooling system? I can't find the bleeder screws. Thanks for your help.

Head over to www.installuniversity.com and check their install docs. They tell how to do the thermostat swap and how to evacuate the air from the system.

Excellent instructions. Make sure you get the air out or you'll find out what happened to me after your car starts to get warm The car will get to about 245 degrees <G>

And I heard that the coolant tends to turn to goo if there is too much air trapped in the system. I don't know if it's true or not. But that's what the Dealer Service Manger said at my "new owner's BBQ". He also said that all LS1's came with synthetic oil from the factory too. I've been told that was incorrect. He said ... but he said... I don't know who to believe anymore.
