You might be able to do this without the pressure tester by just reving the motor with the engine side off and something to collect the flow. Doing it that way of course empties the system rather tahn bleeding as the pressure tool woul allow.
Could the shadetree mechanic accomplish the same thing by putting a garden hose to the core supply side and watching the return line from the core to ensure a proper flow?
