Well, the system is now filled and flowing beautifully.

Unfortuneately it ended up wasting about 2 gallons of distilled water,.

I learned that having the pump pushing water up from the bottom of the radiator was a phenominally BAD idea. Created WAY too much back pressure on the pump for it to be able to work properly.

I reversed the pump connection and it primed up in no time.

Added a little WW fluid and some Prestone to kill the bugs and I am now letting her cycle for a while to make sure she isnt gonna flood my house.

Tonight if all goes well I will be booting up my new P4 Rig
