Re: [DML] Bleeding Cooling System

Steve - An important step in properly bleeding the cooling system is 
to remove all trapped air from the radiator.  This must be done as a 
separate step to bleeding the air from the engine area.  Many people 
who have done this procedure using the methods spelled out in the 
manual have "enjoyed" a face full of coolant and a mess to clean up.  
The system that DeLorean Parts Northwest has available incorporates a 
unique assembly that makes bleeding the air from the radiator quick 
and neat.  Just another excellent option to consider.

I invented specifically for the DeLorean cooling system many years 
ago. The item was originally marketed as the "Overheat Protector". I 
am no longer in the business but you can purchase a similar item now 
called the "Self-Bleeder Kit" available at
