but why would you need to jack vehicle up?

[Glocker]

My reasoning is that car only heats when at constant rpm/load going up the hill, therefore the air pockets will start to collect at the top of the radiator blocking coolant from cycling through the radiator system. I think that may be the cause of my previous engine's demise...going up the hills at newy freeway, over heat, top hose burst, probably from all the pressure of the coolant trying to force itself into the radiator. Also, air lighter than coolant, easier to escape if radiator filler neck is the highest point of the car.

I told him to jack the front up so all the air will come out.

not necessary, but he has problems and he is trying to eliminate what isn't wrong. jacking it up is fail proof.

No bubbles. But!!!! I noticed it took forever for the fan to drop the temps, even switching the heater on works better. Is my fan spinning the wrong way?????

which way is it spinning. Should be drawing air from front to back.

@ a stand still, shouldn't matter.

If you're having that much trouble, it's not bubbles or anything small, it's definitely BHG imo.
