I;m with the others, bleed the system properly, or you'll be wanting shares in the mob you buy heads from.

I have found that if you use your spare hose to stuff in the top of the radiator, it creates a high spot for filling, helping to get rid of airpockets !!!

Good Luck !!!:thumbsup:

Genuine thermostat will read under half.

Aftermarket thermostat will read around half, to 1 bar over half.

i got my head replaced, and a new 3 core radiator. Temp started running at half way when stationary, think i might have had a leak in a pipe. Got them fixed, been 12 months since head was replaced, car runs just over 1 bar in temp. Coolant is only disappearing through the hole in the resivour from my tight turns. Coolant system was bled through the radiator, with some proper tight fitting pressure guage/pipe thing.
