On my '88 with 454 Crusaders after a riser replacement I would just remove the heat exchanger radiator cap and top it off. Bubbles would come up. Then when I started the engines, the level would drop when the thermostat opened and I would top it off again. My final top off would be after an extended run. You will be at it forever trying to refill through the expansion tank. Capt. George
