I agree. I just discovered the suction side of the water pump link a week
or two ago. I already have the bleeder in the thermostat housing but was
having great difficulty getting the pump "primed" after a recent
replacement. I think my radiator is just slightly too low to get the water
level up to the impeller. I took the plug out of the line in the pump
housing that used to go to the thermostat housing (the bypass line), dumped
a bit of water in there and presto! Primed pump and water squirting out of
the bleeder immediately. I even got to use my new Alexander Racing
Enterprises wrench to remove and re-install the plug in the pump.
