Quick and dirty "prime" is to remove the pressure cap, squeeze the
upper radiator hose flat, then crimp the small vent line to the
expansion tank shut and release the upper hose. This will pull coolant
through the lower radiator hose and heater core back into the head.
If you have a bubble, the level in the tank will go down and stay down.
Repeat, adding coolant as necessary, until the coolant just sloshes
around and the expansion tank doesn't go empty. Fill to the middle
line on the tank.
If you did not test the thermostat before you put it in, remember that
occasionally you do get a dead one in the new box....
