    sounds like you possibly on the right path. the only other thing i would suggest is to also purge the cooling system.

    i went on svtperformance to the how too section and used this thread...

    mainly you just have to pull the plug out of the bridge slowly after warming up the car, and some coolant will come out, along with the possible air bubble that is in you system.

    ya bleeding the cooling system on these cars takes patience.

    change the tstat and then make sure you bleed it well.

    Also when you purge the system elevate the front of the car as it helps the bubbles find their way out.
