I prefer the old school for now. But I don’t know how

+1 on the airlift but doing the bleeder valve way can work.
Rear up high is to get air bubble to travel out of radiators to highest point, the Bleeder valve.
Fill cap tight, Bleeder open

+1 on low temp thermo

When I did mine for preventive maintenance, I flushed a couple times with distilled water then final re-fill with Porsche Pink

Good luck and hopefully your old WP didn't do any damage
