Try bleeding system like this. Remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle once vehicle starts to reach operating temp thermostat will start to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on. Also you will notice the level in tank will start to rise this is normal and will go down once thermostat starts to open.
