Default Properly Burping/Packing '90 ???

Hi All...

Well I finished up that intake manifold gaskets /fuel injector project... Car runs absolutely perfect !!!!

I know I've got almost all the coolant back in.. measured what I took out and I'm about a half gallonish shy of getting it all back in... Don't have any temperature problems yet, but it's cool right now in NJ...

Done the searches, nothing really specific for the '90... I tried the raise the front end style, used 10" ramps... let engine reach temp , stat opened and it seemed not to do much, if anything I took some coolant out acutally it pushed out... even while bringing it up to 1500 rpm...

tried that 3 times....

then for the hell of it I did it while level on the ground... Much better results... including when I rev'd it up it pulled the coolant in and keep adding it a couple times then capped while still reving...

If I do this a few more times after taking some rides will it work itself out... Meaning will it pull from the overflow tank when I shut it down???

I read somewhere they changed the angle on the radiator's around this time from straight up to angled.... Does this change the procedure??

Looking forward to hearing some advice... This forum has been a huge help so far....

Going to take a nice cruz tomorrow down to WildWood, NJ... haven't been there in years ... about 150 miles one way
