Thanks Johnny for your video, I have the same tool and I use it for my work, but I was not clear about the use of the coolant purge, now I am ready for the next job without having to wait for it to purge in progress, greetings.

@jimjohnson9079 4 года назад

I was referring to pumping 90 psi into the radiator when you were forcing the air into the radiator to speed up the draining process by closing the discharge with your finger. I ordered this astro tool. It arrives on monday.

@JohnnysSpeedShop 4 года назад

You're gonna love the kit it's a beast..... no worries on the 90 psi in just pop your finger over it for a few seconds it will only pressurize it a small amount to force out what's left in the system...but yeah I wouldnt do that for too long...😁

Shaking cameras don’t usually bother me, but I’m one minute in and already have a headache. If your a person who talks with his hands, then get a tripod. (It seems as if the s leaking is in cadence with your word emphasis.)

U already suc the air in the hose tube before coolant coming in.Think about that.

@JohnnysSpeedShop 2 года назад

Think about what ? There's no need to pre fill the line on the tool, its not designed to be a direct replacement for normal bleed procedures....think about that....lol

How good is the cap tester for yours? I just picked this up. I think my cap testers are defective. Ive tested four 16lb caps and the most one holds is 10 pounds

@bobbiweiss4176 3 года назад

the hose that was drawing the coolant into the vehicle had air in it. How do you purge the air from that hose? Unless the air is purged from that hose, it will end up in the engine. With my Airlift, I used to hook up a vacuum hose with a blow gun with a vacuum port, & then close the valve when the hose was full, then connect it to the Airlift & open both valves & that was it. NO chance for air in the system at all! The Astro system doesn't give you the option of purging air from the supply hose.

@JohnnysSpeedShop 3 года назад

You can purge the air very easily with this one but its absolutely not needed...if you have done enough of these you will realize that...and yeah I have the airlift one as well, this kit is far superior to the airlift one......

@weldingjunkie 4 года назад

Thanks for video I just bought a look a like kit for use with pulse sensor. Do you have a video on the lift? Do you like it still and worth it? Was thinking about getting one, I didn’t know you could lift a truck.

@JohnnysSpeedShop 4 года назад

Love that bendpak lift..its rated for 6000 lbs so as long as you stay under that you are safe... my truck is under 5400 so lots of room for fluid weight....😂 cheers

@weldingjunkie 4 года назад

Johnny's Speed Shop do you have a link for the one you got? What’s Max hight?

@JohnnysSpeedShop 4 года назад

@@weldingjunkie it's the bendpak md-6xp, if you google it you'll find it.. I think the max height is 4 ft. Something like that, basically all the way up the brakes are at chest level (unless you are really tall) I can roll around under a car on a creeper seat no issues. I just put an engine in a 17 320i no issues at all without the lift it would have been a tough job for sure...

@weldingjunkie 4 года назад

Johnny's Speed Shop ah I see it’s a mid rise. You can’t pull a sub frame or tranny with it right because the middle isn’t clear? I’m trying to find the right option for me.

@JohnnysSpeedShop 4 года назад

@@weldingjunkie sub frame..yes depending on the car but trans and mid exhaust work becomes an issue... have you seen the max Jack's? Portable 2 post but requires some serious floor modifications like a full 2 post... that's what put me off it. .. I don't have the height for a full 2 post sadly...😤

@raymondsiew1696 2 года назад

May I know how much pressure (PSI) of air compressor should I use? With my vacuum kit max I got is -15, no where near -25 on reading.

@JohnnysSpeedShop 2 года назад

I have a 60 gallon set to 160 psi....its a 15.6 cfm rating...a beast if a compressor....not sure what you are using but I would think you would need at least 5 compressor to draw down to -25....

@raymondsiew1696 2 года назад

@@JohnnysSpeedShop I have a small 3.5HP / 50L (118psi max) compressor which only give out 173L/m (6CFM after conversation), will that be suffice? Noise in the heater core is killing me T_T

@JohnnysSpeedShop 2 года назад

That should do the trick... are you having a leak somewhere ? When you pull down to -15 does it hold there ? They are sensitive to any type of leak... whats the car ? Do you have an expansion tank and a rad with a cap ? That could be causing it as well, in this case you need to bypass expansion tank and draw vacuum from radiator directly....

@raymondsiew1696 2 года назад

@@JohnnysSpeedShopHey Johnny, thanks for checking on me. I found a fix, my air compressor literally didn't have enough juice. After numerous testing, I close the gauge single time when my compressor kicked in and open the gauge to resume vacuum when air pressure full, repeatedly. At the 3rs times my reading finally reaches -25psi. However that still doesn't fix my heater core air pocket after filling. Could that due to the thermostat preventing circulation? I had a Lexus RX300, 2002.

@JohnnysSpeedShop 2 года назад

Hmmm. Are you 100% sure its the heater core ? I've seen guys chase heater core gurgling noises and the evap drain was blocked and water had accumulated in the hvac... if you held -25 you don't have a leak, I'd check the drain tube for the AC, if thats clear and clean id flush and reverse flush the heater core (if junk comes out flush with CLR and water until clear) refill again with vacnum filler... if it still doesn't work burn it 🤣

@suertelara3 5 лет назад

Also do you fill up thru the radiator or thru the overfill resurvoir? I have a 2015 Mazda 3

@JohnnysSpeedShop 5 лет назад

Not sure on Mazda 3 I'd have to look at it but you can do either depending on setup.... if your overflow just vents to atmosphere the no it would not work and you would need to fill via rad cap and top off the expansion....sometimes you can cheat the system and clamp off hoses but you need to make sure you know what your doing if you try to cheat it....I'd be safe and just fill via radiator...cheers....

@suertelara3 5 лет назад

@@JohnnysSpeedShop Thanks for the quick response

@suertelara3 5 лет назад

So after refilling it with this kit you still have to burp it or just make sure no air is getting burped?

@JohnnysSpeedShop 5 лет назад

Really depends on the car....my titan there was no need to burp all the air was gone, however I did a 2.0 turbo Hyundi and they have a metal crossover pipe, obviously that will not crush like the rubber hose so that car had a tiny bit of air bubbles after filling with this but it was almost nothing probally would have been fine.....good luck mate

@jasonmckeaigg9143 2 года назад

When ready to install coolant...you need to start coolant up the hose then shut off..then start vacuum again..then start filling coolant ...that way you don't put the air in the hose into radiator..well probably clear as mud but hope you get it..savvy..great video..thanks👍

@JohnnysSpeedShop 2 года назад

Yeah mate...thats ideal for sure but I've done a ton of these without priming that hose and never once had an issue... I stopped priming after my 2nd one....🤣🤣 because you still need to manually check and run a heat cycle, any little air gaps will work themselves out...cheers for watching...🍻🍻

@jimjohnson9079 4 года назад

Do you really want 90psi from your air compressor going into the radiator?

@JohnnysSpeedShop 4 года назад

Yes... there's a built in discharge valve, 90 is the recommended presure.

@woden925 3 года назад

@@JohnnysSpeedShop isn’t the cap rated at 16 psi?

They have different ratings, I don't have this car anymore but normally between 14 and 26 psi at the caps.... again nothing to do with this procedure... cheers.

Just bought the kit. the pressure pump im not impressed with. Mac pressure pump is night and day to this one

@suntoritime 4 года назад

The pump works as designed and the kit is 1/3rd the price of the Mac set, not to mention much more comprehensive (28pc vs. 17pc) and includes an airlift style fill/purge tool. I'll take the Astro any day of the week.
