Yeah I have that problem too
Great guy, but trying to get in touch with him is spotty. Email usually takes a while, I always get his VM, or the one time he left his cell at work while he was traveling lol. He does eventually get back to you, but maybe give Greg a try as well. I'm not in an immediate need (really whenever it gets in its fine)

No, the bottom valve is right next to the temp sensor on the bottom coolant hose.
You can use needle nose pliers or a small crescent wrench to turn it 90 deg counter clockwise. I let the car idle with the heat on and I kept putting coolant in until it started bubbling out of the top bleed screw.

Ok I got the location of the valve
But why do you have to turn this valve and what does it do? I have a lot of experience with cars, but this one is new to me. Does this valve block the water from going into the radiator so the engine fills first, is this true? I think we are getting warmer.

Thanks Roman! If I don't hear from him within the next week then I'll either give him
a call or ask Greg over on AZ.
I'll shoot you an e-mail if I need it.
