Well it seems i may have been a bit premature in announcing that retorquing the headbolts didnt work for me.... Have done 300+k's in the car since often in heavy traffic without any movement from the heater guage or the need to put the heating on.
I did pop in to see Paden at Unique automotive in villawood as i was concerned the HG did need doing but by the time i got there it seemed most of the air was out of the system. He suggested that the way i put the coolant in wouldve created a huge airlock in the heater matrix and that is what i think was causing the airbubbles under the rad cap. Air bubbles seem to have stopped now.
So all is looking good.
