Subject:Bleeder valve Function?
From:Peter Krogh
Date:Tue, 9 Oct 2001 16:40:18 EDT

Hello list,
In my seemingly never-ending quest to diagnose/repair cooling system, I have
onew more question.

Does the bleeder valve in the engine compartment bleed coolant when open?  I
wonder if mine is working.  When I bleed system, with valve screwed all the
way counter-clockwise (the vlave screws back about 1/4 inch), I never get
coolant out the hole.  Does this mean that it is not actually bleeding the
air in the system?

TIA,
Peter
