If you are in Southern CA, you are welcome to stop by and use my vacuum system. After my first fill, and running the motor, I let it cool down and created a vacuum again and added another 1/2 gallon using the system. Since then it has been running at normal temps. I seriously recommend buying a vacuum system for the coolant flush or water pump replacement as it works very well and eliminates the need to bleed the system.

Thanks... I will run it for a couple days, wait for it to cool-down, then close the valve.
Thanks for the offer... I think I am in Southern CA? But they call this the "Central Coast", I'm in Santa Barbara county.
