with almost any 60x engine I backfill the engine from the upper radiator hose first - it takes about a gallon, then I fill from the expansion tank.

When you fill from the expansion tank only you will have to deal with filling the engine slowly by just a trickle going in from the top radiator hose. This can lead to overheating very quickly.
