I just finished the pain in the *** timing chain, tensioner, guide replacement in my 93 coupe. It's all back together, cranked , ran and idled on first turn of the key. Put on the timing light and adjusted for 20 BTDC. Now the things running very very hot. I refilled the coolant but I'm unsure how to use the coolant vent screw. I just want to make sure I get out any trapped air that may be in the system. What is the best method to do this.Thanks for any help.

unscrew the bleed plug on the manifold, then fill the radiator untill it starts to overflow from the plug, stick the plug back in, cap the radiator, and run it agian

also, make sure its around a 50/50 ratio of water to antifreeze, more antifreeze if your in the north
