take the radiator cap off. Start the car and let it run, turn the heat on, on the hottest setting.

Now keep your water/coolant what ever you are gonna use by the car. Fill it up and wait for the thermostat to open. When it opens, you will see the water level drop, keep adding until you cant add any more water.

Get a fan shroud. It will run hot at idle/low mph with out it, burp the system, and get on overflow tank.
