Yes the cooling system is a little odd. Crazy Germans. Remember that Porsche has been building air cooled motors for over 60 years and the 986/996 is essentially a first generation water cooled flat six production motor so we are guinea pigs to some extent. Chevy has been doing water cooled motors since 1914?? so by now they have the bugs worked out.
Do pay attention to purging all the air out as air entrapment and hot spots in this motor mean cracked heads or worse.
