If you're worried about air pockets back there, I would just tap it and crack the plugs loose until I got water instead of actually plumbing lines front to back. My Mullis car with the rear mounted radiator was a real pain to get all the air out of the system. I used to fill it with the front wheels in the trailer & back wheels on the ground. I would let the pump run for a while and continuously top the water off while grabbing the cage and rocking the car side to side. Just when you thought all the air was out, it would burp out some more!

That’s exactly how I do it Billy just trying to make the cooling system as efficient as possible. I just use the cherry picker to lift the front. Thanks Ray
