I mean,
I'm gonna get all the coolant off the lines. Air is coming into all of it. All the coolant I put in after that will go down forcing the air to leave upwards. In the radiator side, it will leave by the expansion tank and the vent valve. But in the engine headers side, there will be no way for the air to leave. I'm aware that the coolant from headers goes directly to the cabin heater core, isolated by a shutoff valve that opens when I turn on the heater. On several cars, you can just disconnect the heater coolant supply hose and let the air from the engine header come out by there. Can I do that in the S65? |

As I'm doing engine block too, I feel like the self bleeding mechanism may not work. |

Right, it’s a high mount tank, above the highest level in the cooling system, and will self bleed. I bled this way twice, once when changing to Evans after doing the rod bearings and using the block drains. Works fine, whether the system is totally empty or partially empty when refilled. Remember to run the heater to be access the core and hoses.

Nice, thanks guys.
Let's say I want to put some vacuum inside the system before filling. -30cmHg. The hoses may collapse a little, but no damage, right? Is there a reason for not doing that? |

Does anyone know the torque values for the two engine block drain plugs+crush washers?

Did not follow any torque value. Just good and tight. After filling coolant, one side was dripping a little, so I torqued it up a little more, e no problems after.

Anybody have a part number or place to buy the Aluminium crush washers for the Engine Block Drain Screws (one for each bank)? I used a bit of RTV sealant and the original crush washers to make sure it doesn't leak but would like to do the job properly next time. Tightening torque for the Engine Block Drain screws would be useful too.
Thanks all Aluminium is the English spelling ahah The measurements I took of the Crush Washer: 10.0mm Internal diameter 13.6mm Outer diameter 0.8mm thick Last edited by Harryc9; 02-20-2022 at 02:11 PM.. |

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I plan on doing this next week. On my e93 328, after filling the cooling system, you turn the accessories on in the car, hold the gas pedal down for 30 seconds and the water pump will run about a 10-15min cycle to bleed all the aur out of the system. Is that not an option on the S65?

go for a ride, take a bottle of diluted coolant. if the level drops too much, it will throw a warning on the dash. if it doesn't, keep checking level after cooling down, until it stops to drop. |
