A bit of an odd one here...I believe the capacity of the Chimaera cooling system is 12litres...whats the capacity of the cabin heater section of this?

I want to make sure I've filled up the racer with no air locks this time (as I managed to airlock the rad last time out and muller a head gasket), I've put around 9 litres in, but as I don't have a heatermatrix or any associated plumbing...is this enough?

Bleed the rad and the engine, then you know you're covered.

Thanks, I've added a feed from the top of the rad to the top of the swirl pot so hopefully that will help bleed any unwanted air out too.

Also I've bought a funnel with the smallest neck possible so I have to fill sloooooowly!
