There are a few ways to do it, it depends on the car. Have you tried adding more after the engine got to temp and then cooled to the point where you can open the cap?

Basically you just want to make sure there is no air trapped anywhere in the cooling system, sometimes just leaving the filler cap off and jacking the front of the car up is enough to force any big air bubbles out. Some rads have a bleed screw on top of the coolant outlet, on top of the rad. yours might considering its a new rad.

What i have always done is just squeeze the top outlet hose, like a squeezing on off motion, you should see coolant at the filler neck when you squeeze, if there is air it will come out and then your coolant level will go down. If that happens just add more till you see coolant at the filler neck when you squeeze the hose.

Sorry for all this confusing info, try the last method first would be my advice,

I see exactly what you are saying. it just pumps out the bubbles. I will do that tomorrow. Right now, Good night.

AHA Thread Revival

I finally made a video of it starting and running. Ive had it running for a while and have driven it about a hundred miles, actually. My headlights quit working and then my turn signals, so driving is very limited right now.
