usually when pouring fluid into the rad, when it gets near the top, I listen for the bubbling then slow the pour till it reaches the top, let the bubbles go until they stop and the fluid level lowers and keep filling a little bit at a time until there's no more bubbles...
the other way I've tried is running with the rad cap off, for a few minutes to let it pump then seal it up...
have you had a coolant hose pop off due to air in the system before??
