Quick Coolant Bleeding Question.

Ive had to rebleed my system too many times now..and I have a simple question. Every says to crack the bleeders then fill up until you have no air. Well thats easy with the T-stat bleeder. Then I close it off and proceed to fill it up.. however the bypass tube from the T-stat to radiator (the other bleeder) is above the fill mark on the radiator..so technically I can never get all the air out. Is it just my system/?? Any secret tips for this? Im a bit confused.



Thanks again to Shoebox for pic.

i always crack them both open when filling. then close off the thermostat bleeder and leave the bypass open, then i put the cap on the radiator and start the car, close the bleeder when it stops spittin air.
