Dirk,

my Coolflex hoses won't allow me to burp the system by compression
I'm still stuck on this

Maybe someone could suggest an alternate method for burping?

Perhaps something like this: http://www.ehow.com/how_7369_burp-cars-cooling.html

Also,

Be sure to move the heater control to the full, open position. It's part of the engine cooling system, and may have air trapped in it.
If you think this is a rare problem, I used these words in Google -> burping cooling system radiator <- and got over 6,000 hits...

Bottom line: other mods may indeed help; just make sure this step is successful before making any of the other changes!

Regards,

Tom
