Sorry Lee, I don`t follow your logic on this....... but I am not going to argue with you on such a trivial point...... the main point of my comment re:- the bleed nipple...... it serves no purpose in this particular (GTA) installation as this area, including the thermostat upper housing is bled automatically by the small pipe coming off the top of the upper hose into the reservoir as the hose fills up with coolant.
