How long should it take to get air out of coolant system?

[FordWake]

Some background first.

I did the PgreenSVT flushing procedure before I replaced my oil cooler and most everything else in my sig.

My sinister coolant filtration system hoses where leaking. So I called MKM and they sent me a whole new kit out. Well I drained about a gallon out of my radiator from the drain to lower the level of coolant in my system. In preparation for swapping out the hoses.

Well its been awhile now since I did that. I have been checking the level and adding to bring up to correct level as air works its way out. It seems on long trips or trips I am pulling or hauling something. When I check it after it has cooled down there is a little more coolant missing. We are not talking much maybe a 12oz or so. Is it still working air out of the system?? Or should I get an exhaust gas chemical kit and check for exhaust gases. Kinda paranoid. I can't find any leaks in the system either but its such a small amount. It would be hard to track it down. No residue on degas bottle.

FREAKING OUT. I THOUGHT I HAD this baby good to go for awhile. Going crazy Bout ready to lose my cool with this.
anybody know a good diesel shop near Kansas City?

Don't sweat the small stuff. What you are seeing isn't unusual. It will settle down.

So your saying it will most likely stop and that if I had a headgasket issue it would be worse right?? I think I will test it for exhaust gas for piece of mind. I am just afraid what I did to my motor since my oil cooler was clogged. I am getting ready to pull my trailer to south dakota and do not want a problem on vacation. Thanks for the reply. I need reassurance from time to time. Anytime your in Kansas city mitch PM me and I'll buy you some good BBQ.

Sounds like a deal. It also never hurts to double check things. Although I can't think of anything on gods green earth that would tempt me to come to Kansas. It's flat there. I gotta have hills and very large bodies of water nearby.

Well I live on the Missouri side but yeah not much here not going to argue with that, but I like it that way keeps the crazy east and west coast people out somewhat. I am just a country boy living in the city. So where are you located if you don't mind me asking?? I am guessing Florida or Texas. We vacation a lot in Florida if so maybe you can show me a good place to eat at my treat.
