I bled the system twice. Bubbles still coming.What I may be doing wrong is turning the heater on before the radiator cooling fan kicks in. It may be cooling the coolant with the heater fan causing the radiator fan not to start.I ran the engine for 1/2 hour or more twice and still it was bubbling. So I'll try again and wait until the radiator fan starts then turn the heater on. I'm using a bleeder kit(no splash no mess large funnel). There's no smoke with the bubbles.

Leave the fan off, but have the heat all the way on
