Trust me, that's not enough. I ended up adding a tee to the heater line from the intake to the heater core (not the one from the water pump side). That allows me to fill the area with coolant manually and thus get the air out of the system that way.

I just buy one of those Prestone flush-n-fill kits from the local NAPA just for the tee and the hose clamps. Easy fix for this problem. I think they are well under $10.

Another point is to make sure that the thermostat has the small bleed hole pointing 'up' when installing it.
