Ok one more question. If I clamp off the the tubes going to the water tube above the manifolds before removing it, do i need to somehow bleed the system if there isn't any water in the tube when i take it off?
If so, is this the best technique:?
Raise the front of the car on jackstands or ramps.
With the high point vent cracked open, slowly fill the coolant reservoir.
When the reservoir level is at or slightly above the maximum mark, coolant should start to come out the high point vent.
Continue to fill until a steady stream of coolant comes out the vent.
Close the high point vent.
The disadvantage to this method is that it is not as effective as Method 1. Also, when venting is complete, there may be more coolant in the reservoir than the system needs. Consequently, the reservoir will overflow due to coolant expansion the first time the car is driven after the vent.
