how much does a renesis hold approx?  I have been priming my engine for a first run.  the first gallon seemed to all go into the radiator.  today a second gallon seemed to empty into the block, once I loosened the bubble line from the front rotor back to the expansion tank.  I've been cranking the engine, tho' I doubt it pumps much at such slow rpm.  my expansion tank is the highest point in the cooling system. [by 3"?].   just wondered how much air might still be trapped.  I realize that I will need to run it a bunch to get all the air out.   any big problems [besides noise and burning up my trailer floor] with not having a complete exhaust system yet?  I have the exhaust manifold going back and then pointing straight down at the mock-up firewall.
