I installed the m tuned colant reroute
and I dont think the coolant is moving.
I started the car filled the radiator and then it started overflowing. I would think once the coolant started moving the level would drop and I would need to add more coolant.
what is the best way to make sure the coolant is moving? do I need to let it pressurize before it will start moving? both radiator lines got rock hard so something is not right.
how can i make sure the coolant is moving through the system

Circulating liquids are non-compressible and will not lower the reservoir level. Normally a rad doesn't overflow with the cap off until the fluid starts expanding from heat.
You need to burp the system and ensure the thermostat is correctly installed.

ok thanks guys, the cars i've owned before had either a bleed screw or a hole in a hose that you pull until it is exposed to the water and all the air gets pushed out and coolant starts to ****. I will jack up on the rad cap side and run it again, I think I got it but I want to make sure, I took half the car so just trying to be careful and make sure everything is right. a nice air bubble can really f- up your day.
