I had to run for some parts, and left the electric pump run for about an hour on my test stand, and it still didn't clear the air.


I will stick my neck out on this one, maybe its not the heads.... Maybe its the water pump housing not moving enough water? I think the better/best aluminum housing is the MP/DC housing.

Take a look at the housing passages, if there smaller than stock or you find a bottle neck restriction, I think you found the problem.

I considered that, but the passages are not restricted, and it had no trouble staying cool once the air got out. I had a similar combo with Edelbrock heads, and it purged the air with no issues. Who knows, maybe I just got a cantankerous one. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else experienced this with the Trick Flows.
