Do I need to burp my 124?
Did my first bi-annual drain and fill. Now it runs hotter than before I guess I have an air bubble somewhere. I have driven it this way for a couple weeks and it hasn't changed and the level has not gone down. What can I do? Being a 124, even with the #17 head, I don't like it to run hot.

Did you remove the upper radiator hose and fill the head completely?
Air likes to live up there........it's the highest point in the system. |

I did the following on mine-
I removed the temp sending unit at the highest position on the thermostat housing. and slowly poured coolant mix into the hole. Facing uphill (or on ramps) and it held slightly over a half liter.
