Update: Found the problem, it was the Merc bleeder screw. Apparently it ships not fully tightened and I did not know that, tightened the screw and now I'm holding pressure!
Can anyone point me where to look/check for leaks as I'm trying to vacuum all the air out of my coolant system with a vacuum filler off Amazon and as soon as I turn off the suction it immediately starts to loose pressure until it drops back down to 0 in a matter of minutes. I just replaced my PCV, water pump, tstat, coolant pipe under sc, front coolant pipe gaskets, and installed a Merc HX. I triple checked all hoses, pipes, screws, everything to make sure it was all fitted properly and it still will not hold pressure. I just spent a few days replacing all of this stuff and right now I feel like setting my car on fire lol! I spent the last few hours googling trying to figure out where the air might be getting into the system from but I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! [headbang]
