Hi Rusty;
        I had concerns about being able to remove the air from my cores as well, so I did 2 things; first I made an adapter to allow me to fill the system through the flowmeter fitting to fill from the bottom up, ensuring all air is pushed out. Second I installed a small bleeder plug on the top where the cores are fed. It turns out that neither are required.

     ... SNIP

        After running the engine up to temp for awhile there is more entrained air that gases off, but that is mostly forced out into the overflow tank which sucks back coolant after cool down. I've found that I usually have to add approx. 1/2 litre to the overflow tank after cooldown.

        Ed, for the record you can add me to the list of parallel cores.

Ok, Todd, Thanks

That makes at least three flying rotaries with successful parallel cores; Tracy Crook, Bill Eslick and Todd Bartim with more apparently in the works
