Just Finished my first TB....
Now I need to bleed the cooling system, I don't have any heat. Someone said to bleed the heater core. How/where do I do that? By the way, the TB wasn't to hard to change. It had 92000 miles and looked good. I had a scare when I started it though. It sounded like a diesel for about 1/2 a sec when it started.

bleed from the heat hose behind the firewall (hose with the hole in it) also while the car is
running you should have the heater on high. there is also a bleeder just to the right of the power steering pump and just left of the drivers side cam tensioner.

I also installed a snub mount while I was in there..
I am going to wait until morning for the test drive, I have already began my redbull-vodka this evening. All in all a good experience. I used a cam lock bar, but could have done without out it. I did not loosen the cam drive gears either. The new belt went on farly easy without doing it.

Found the heater hose--no water at first, now have some, thanks..
The car has been running about 30 minutes. It is fully up to temp. The upper and lower radiator hoses are hot. I removed the heater hose with the hole, no water. Put it back on and cycled the heat. Water is slowly coming through now. Thanks for your help. BTW my heater hoses had a nice cover on them, thats why I couldn't see them.
