5 days with no car has killed me.

If you see this, with coolant, do I just fill from the tower until full, start her up then bleed?

Yeah that’s right, it bleeds through the radiator cap opening
And turn the heater on full unless it’s bypassed

Not bypassed, will start car with heater on full, I assume I will need to top it up as car runs for a bit then when it's full leave cap off until bubbling stops?

Well no chicken noise.

She's all done now, I feel like the tappets are maybe slightly louder and there might be a bit of a whine coming from somewhere but it doesnt sound like its coming from a belt.

Car definitely feels good though, the rear bank plugs were looking pretty shot.
