nooooo.
don't start the car until all burping of the radiator/block is finished! make sure you have coolant exiting the vent line!
the expansion tank is connected to the bottom of the radiator with a 1" line, and to the top of the block with a 1/4" line. so air is pushed out of the block perfectly. just make sure you get coolant there.
