Coolant gurgling?

We've been down this topic before, but I'd like to revisit it. I Just had a flush/fill/pressure test/burp of the stock radiator(FD), and I don't remember her gurgling nearly as much after shutdown. I mean.. it is loud gurgling coming from near the thermo housing or lower, and sounds like boiling water for about 15 minutes after shutdown, even when driven easily. Coolant is full under the cap, but barely touches the white reservoir dipstick. Temp guage is ok, no idiot light on. You can smell coolant occasionally as well, but there is not a drop anywhere, under or on top. Think the tech messed up on the burping?

Refill your resevoir tank and then burp the car yourself. Sounds like you have air in there somewhere.

It took me 30 minutes to burp my car on my last flush.
