How to get a air bubble out of a 240sx "sticky"
i get a ton of calls on this subject matter so here is the quick and eazy fix.
wait till engine is cool first take a jack lift the front slightly. take radiator cap out. take bleed screw off take a 2 liter pepsi bottle cut it in half take some black electrical tape and wrap the bottle neck a little flip it around and place the bottle neck were the radiator cap was at. have somebody start the car turn on the heater now start filling it with coolant close bleed screw after you get a nice even stream of coolant add antifreeze until you over fill the rad by a quart let the engine run after 3 minutes the thermostat will open and suck in the exess antifreeze fill it again but with about a half of quart. let it run until no more bubbles come out. replace cap and enjoy if problem continues and its a single cam. there is a good chance that the timing chain rubbed up against the timing cover. which will cut a hole into the water outlet. it take alot for a dual cam to do this.
