Default Trying to start the car today...

Finally putting the last things on the car today. Hopefully gonna get her started n stuff. QUESTION. HTF do i get water into the motor before starting it. I dont feel all warm and fuzzy about letting it run till the thermostat opens. I was thinking maybe taking the thermo out till the block gets SOME wetness. Idk.

Dont drive the car till your heat is hot.

An s2k can go up to 15 miles with hidden air in the system, then suddenly overheat.
