Greg,

The easiest way I found to burp the radiator is to fill the radiator with
the heater line from the thermostat housing disconnected. When you see
fluid starting to appear in the thermostat housing, pop the line back on
and tighten it down. Most of the air will be out by then, and your block
will be full of antifreeze (the -really- important thing).
