Several Q's on here about how exactly you bleed the system and you've just repeated excerpts from the text guide. SPECIFICALLY, how do you bleed the system? How do you know it is 'bled'? Do you do this with engine on, off?

The procedure describes how to specifically bleed it. Initial fill engine off, then idle engine to allow coolant to flow (with cap on). Shut down, allow to cool and repeat. You will know it is free of air when bubbles no longer are present.
