Overheating after vmount install.

My vmount with no AST is a pain to bleed. I use the funnel (really its a must have), and let the car idle for 20 minutes or so with the funnel 1/2 full. Then I let the car cool for 4-5 hours with the funnel still attached. The coolant gets more dense as it cools and more air bubbles come out during this process. Also, most of the coolant will drain back from the funnel durring this cool down avoiding air pockets forming as it cools. Squeezing the radiator hoses now and then during cool down helps out as well.

Im also going to get a set of the defi gauges so I can report more accurate temps, Ill keep everyone posted. Obviously Water temp is one, what are the other two most important gauges? I have a boost gauge already.

im having somewhat the same issue with bleeding my system as of last night i spent near an hour trying to bleed all air out of the system. what im havin issues with is really just getting all the air out. it seems everytime the thermostat opens the coolant is boiling to the point where it just spits it all out. keep in mind i have no ast,overflow just the radiator and main filler cap. any suggestions?
