Well fuck. So much for OEM quality. What happens if the "jiggle valve" on the "stat" isn't at 12 o'clock?? I let the engine cool down, went in the garage and as soon as I loosened the rad cap, it let out some pressure and was room for more agua. I refilled again and loosened the bleeder valve. Used a funnel and filled it till water came shooting out of the bleeder and capped that hoe. I hope that kinda solves it. Can't start the car up too late and piss off the neighbors. Well I could but that'd be a dick move.
Appreciate the help fellas. I'll check back in and update tomorrow.
