Normal procedure you would do with any spark plug, NGK for this car, don’t over tight, and that’s about it.

The bleeder screw just help you fill coolant faster, properly purging out the system, you have to use a spill free funnel, there’s no way around it.

Finally found the culprit, aftermarket radio is sucking all my juice, hope that solve the problem, fingers cross.

One more question, is the radio still usable, or the connector that’s the problem???

OK, just got a new battery, everything is good, for some reason my multimeter can’t read any AMP draw at all, just a flat line, my suspect is the after market radio, i pull the fuse and let it sit for 2 days, checking the volt each day, if after 2 days it starts good, than i know the radio for some reason is bad (or the connection i made), that’s the only method i could use.

Will take the alternator out, and take it to a shop or parts store to test if the diode is bad, or shorted that’s draining my battery all the time.

Just did some test that found out that the alternator might be the culprit all this time, did a load test this mourning, idle condition (14.15v) perfect, put load in (AC full, lights on, blinker, etc.), drop to a (12.6v), could alternator be draining my battery??
