I remember watching a mechanic commissioning a new rebuild. He left it on idle with rad cap off and in due course there were various undersea eruptions and he stood by with a big can of water topping up till it all calmed down. P (from the French Alps!)

It would be useful to know roughly what the temperature is at the bottom of the radiator when the top is at, say, 120 C.
