Everytime i drive my car i have to refill my radiator but i dont see any leaks, its a afco alluminum radiator. I installed it myself and didnt do anything but remove the old and installed the new. This also might be related sometimes all of a sudden my temp gauge increases to the max and then about 10 sec. later it drops to its normal state. I was told awile back that i might have a blown head gasket but didnt take it to seriously. Please any help would be great. Thanks

fill it and let it idle til your thermostat opens and top it off you shouldnt have to keep refilling it over and over tho

I top it off everytime I warm up my car. I never see any water leaking, this is probably a dumb question but can the water be getting into my oil and burning out the muffler (blown headgasket). Thanks. Manny

air air and more air.

start it let it warm up with the cap off
fill it up leave the cap off and watch the bubbles come out
as soon as it starts to overflow with NO bubbles cap it off fast.

That has worked the best for me.

Tried bleeding the air out this weekend but no luck. I started the car pop the radiator cap and filled about 3 min later the water went down so i filled it up didnt see to many bubbles, did this for about 10 min(kept topping it off). Any other suggestions. Thanks
