Difficult to bleed coolant system?
All I'm gonna do is pull the thermo not even disconnect the hose, and put it back on. Think that air I get in the system will be hard to bleed off??

Yes You have to pull the hose off to get the thermostat out. Anytime you open the cooling system like this you need to bleed the system.

Bleeding an LS1 f-body is really easy. Unhook the TB coolant line and fill the radiator up. When coolant comes out of the unhooked line or where it was hooked you're done.

Re: Difficult to bleed coolant system?
he is talking about the Throttle Body line. Yeah, makes sense, being that is the highest spot in the system. You have to go slowly tho.
