You bleed it the same way you bleed the old system. By the bleeder screws connected to the Hoses attacthed to the WP housing.

You can just turn on the pump and them open both of the bleeder screws. When you get only coolant, then you're fine. It works great, since the engine doesn't have to be running.

No it won't as it's temperature operated[160[or stock @180] opens it...
