tom, im thinking if you start with a dry block in essence its filled 
with air. when you fill it with coolant does all the air dissapate? i 
noticed when filling it the level kept bubbling and slowly went down. 
then i had to refill it. im assuming this was some trapped air finding 
its way to the higest point in the system. but not all the air was able 
to get out??? mabey????
