Reply to "Seeking advice on dealing with possible air trapped in the cooling system"

@George P Just to clarify, am I supposed to raise and lower the car at either end as directed, with the engine running? Or can this be done with the engine off after coolant has reached 160-170F? I'm pretty OCD about shop safety and the idea of lifting the car on a floor jack while it's running doesn't feel "right" to me, even with the large rubber wheel blocks I use. But hey, if this is the way it's done, then I'll do it. I just want to be absolutely sure, as it's a sizeable investment I have in this car on just the purchase price alone, not to mention the current work done and future changes I plan on making to the car.

Regarding the topic title and forum selection, I noticed that a couple of my past posts have been modified, so I figured there was a specific format we're supposed to adhere to.

Thank you (and to everyone else responding) for your responses to my incessant questions regarding this car. While I'm fairly mechanically inclined and have done all of the major work on my Shelby GT500 and Focus RS, the Pantera is a substantially different animal (pun intended) than what I'm used to.
