Re: Strange Noise
I don't know the exact procedure but this is the one I follow: With engine completely cool, start it up and let it idle. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen the two small brass bleeder valves - one is on the neck that houses the thermostat, the other is on the top heater hose coming off the water pump. As the engine heats up, coolant will start to seep out. When both start to seep, close them and you're done. If this doesn't correct the noise, then your coolant may be boiling-over - perhaps a thermostat problem?

I agree with 97LT1Z28 on the coolant system bleeding procedure. Also when you fill up your coolant if you keep filling it to the very top a decent amount will go into the overflow tank and overfill it. My car did the same thing you are describing when I got to much in the overflow tank.1994 Firebird Formula, M6, Fan switch, 160 thermostat, Pacesetter LT headers, Morosso CAI, TB bypass, True duals.
