ok so i got some help on how to bleed my coolent cuz it was over heating despite installing new stat and water pump.
they told me to lift the car up and so and so on
well then my bleeder screw snapped and well some one said i could still do it like that just lift nose and rad cap off
so i did that and smoke came out of the radiator i guess its from the coolent getting very hot also coolent gushed out a bit wen the car started to warm up, is that normal?????

Sorry, I posted in your other thread. Yes this is normal, its air being pushed out of the system...everything has to go somewhere. Just read my post in your older thread, it should have you covered.

should there be smoke coming out the exhaust during this process? im doing the same thing and theres a lot of white smoke coming out as if its a blown head gasket. i just replaced it also.
