refilling water 09 cup
So I had pulled the gearbox to have Copans take a look at it and one of the water lines running forward where the rubber line meets the metal got tweaked a bit and sprayed out what I thought to be a few liters or water.
So got everything back together and checked level...seemed ok....
Fired car up and let come up to temp a bit, level still good.
lifted rear of car in air a few feet to see if there were any bubbles in system and none came out, level still good.
so my question is how do you get this thing to burp if there is air in it.

Pressurized system so you may need one of these or similar:

I'm not a mechanic so take what I say with a grain of salt - there are plenty of others on here that can likely provide a more accurate answer or an alternative.

If you're in a hurry the pressurr filler works well or you can do it with 2 ppl...
If not in a hurry:
Get the car up to temp and hold it at 3k rpm....then blip the throttle between 3-6k for 30 seconds or so. Shut the car off while still held at 3k. Let it completely cool down (hours or
the next day). You will find the water reservoir has lowered. Repeat this process a few times until the water level doesn't drop when the car is stone cold.

figured I would post in here too.
someone pointed out to me that you can use a vacuum refill system on this car as well.
I have a airlift kit http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/uvie...0-p-13770.aspx
I am going to try it out if the rev at temp does not drop the level.
I am sure I lost at least a 1/4 gallon so the bottle should drop.
