This engine doesn't have a bleeder. The best way to fill it is with a vacuum filler but if you don't have one. fill it all the way up, cap it and run it until the t-stat opens and the fans come on. Let it cool completely and refill the radiator if needed and top off the reservoir. Repeat this again to see if it takes any more. Don't try to open or fill it while still warm. It needs to draw the overflow in first while still sealed.

hammer time im really surprised honda
i-vtec engines dont have coolant bleeders
on them i thought that only applied to sealed
coolling systems by that i mean you fill it through

a resevoire not rad because rad has no cap and no
drain on bottom very much like my other car saturn
is like that uhmm i wonder why honda would do that
on that engine?

THANKS AGAIN Hammer time
by the way i like your vett!

Actually, very few vehicles have cooling system bleeders. the only time they are really necessary is when the system is designed so the fill point is not the highest point in the cooling system.
