Can't seem to get the water to circulate in the motor since I put it back in. It now has a hardblock fill to the bottom of the water pump holes. I tried jacking the front end up and pulling the last header bolt on the passenger side that goes to water and nothing. Anyone have any other tricks? I remember when had the 440 with a tall fill in it I had similar issues.
Start warming up the engine.. I have the same issue with SBs... cycle the pump on and off.. it should start pumping when it gets warm... also squeeze the lower hose a few times ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

Eric I just did my trick yesterday. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) Put your hand over the opening on the radiator, put your compressed air blower under your hand and put a little pressure with pump on. If your rad. has an overflow tube in the neck, cover opening with hand and blow in the overflow tube. Works every time! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) Don

Or, use a water hose... I did that to prime the Air to Water Intercooler I just installed on the 2000 Dak! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)
