bleeding the cooling system (HELP)

does the cooling system of the 96 camery V6 need to be bleeded?

i flushed the radiator last night but could not find the bleed screw. so i just filled up the radiator with coolant and some in the reservoir tank.

it seems that it bleeds automatically through the reservior tank.
please help.

The resevoir tank, is more for when the fluid gets hot, it catch's any excess that would boil over onto the ground...

I'm not sure about a Camry rad, but most rads have a plastic valve on the bottom of the rad somewhere. And I wouldnt worry about a full coolant system flush unless your having overheat problems, just drain the rad fully, change the thermostat and refill.

...remember after you fill the rad to start the car, and rev up the engine to 1500/rpm... you will see the coolant level drop in the rad (rad cap off) fill it the rest of the way while someone holds it at 1500/rpm, then cap it and your done.

if there is no drain plug all u need to do is remove the lower rad hose and bleed the coolant that way...
