Billman bleeding instructions:

1 run car at idle to 3 bars PLUS 1.5 minutes, hold at 2500 rpm for an additional 15 seconds, shut it off.

2 Open bleeder at front of engine, allow air to escape. don't bother with rubber bleeder at firewall.

3 refill rad to top.

-repeat 1 2 & 3 till air is gone. make sure heat is very hot.

jacking up the front of the car is what worked the best for me, done in 5 mins, got all the air out the first time, no long idling nothing like that. Proven method for sure

I can guarantee from experience that this won't work for all cars or all situations. It also is irrelevant for cars with the Hondata IM gasket that blocks the port near the TB on the manifold.
