I wouldn't worry about it until I thought there might be a problem You can always jack the front of the car way up when the motor is installed and loosen the radiator cap to let any trapped air out, maybe turn the electric water pump on or start the motor to circulate the water to help remove any trapped air Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Don't know , just what he told me. I'm sure water wetter would help also. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
