You should see bubbles coming up, leaving the heater core, which is where these bubbles are causing the gurgling noise. Let the engine run until the fan kicks in, at which point the coolant level is going to drop. Hopefully by then most of the air bubbles have left the system. Cap off the radiator opening, and take it for a little drive. There should be little to no noise, and once you drive it for a while there should be no more noise. Good luck!
How much coolant did you lose/add? I am getting mine tomorrow I probably will install it at work but not bypass the coolant line until the next morning when the engine is cold. Then i will bypass it and start it up. What do ya think? Is it better to bypass the coolant line when the engine is warm or cold?
