help flushing cooling system please

I normally just pull a heat hose off the head so the air can be bleed out of the system... As for sealants I rarely use any sealant on the engine if I do use a sealant I use very little...

what kind of sealant do ya use on that pipe plug?i use teflon tape on stuff ...but how about on this?

Teflon tape would be OK, but make sure that you don't tape the first thread because pieces of the tape can and will break off and have the ability to cause havoc on the system. I personally prefer to use a decent quality pipe dope.

here's a pic of what I have. I was gonna pull out this 11/16" bolt, but see that hose clamp?It prevents a socket from going on the bolt. And its rivetted to the hose so I can't even reposition it. Not a big deal... just one of those things that make you go hmmmmmm.Not really motivated to work on it now anyway, I was just looking at my set-up as I read these posts.I'll try what Mike says about the heater hose.

All you would need to do is just loosen up the clamp in your picture and that should bleed any air left in it. I read where some guys have had that same issue for a long time and it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
