first thing is that cooling systems are very sensitive to air bubbles. you need to bleed it with the bleeder screw. then you need to get this funnel that mounts to the top of the radiator. you fill it up with coolant/water and start the car. keep an eye inb the temp guage, the funnel, and listen for the fans. make sure you keep the funnel full of water. while its running there should be air bubbles coming up to the top. after the fans come on and shut off twice. then shut the car off and and wait for the rest of the air bubbles to come to the top. after that you should be set.
