Good afternoon all,
I'm still waiting form my service manual to arrive so thought I'd throw this question out to you. I replaced the radiator in my IH 560 Diesel as well as installing a frost plug heater into the engine block. Since I had to drain some of the coolant from the block when installing the frost plug heater, how do I get coolant into the block to replace what was drained? I thought by running it and heating it up would open the thermostat and allow coolant to enter into the block. Although, the amount in the radiator has not changed since I filled it. Any feedback would be appreciated.
