If you notice - the radiator cap is a bit lower than the Z shaped steel pipe on top of the lower manifold - thats where it locks in air and dexcool starts to accumulate this sludgy junk. I found that its best to backfill the engine with coolant slowly from the heater hose that leads to the back of the thermostat, then fill with a big funnel stuck in the radiator cap opening and keep the level higher than the entire engine start and bleed through the bleed valves.
