Svx has a built in bypass. Fill coolant. Run until it gets too hot. Let cool. Fill coolant. Run again. Repeat as needed. You have air in there.

The proper size of the reducer (called a steel spacer at the hardware store) is 5/8"OD x 1/4"ID x 3/4" long.

A photo of the reducer & tee. And one of the reducer in the hose end where it attaches to the back heater core. A few more photos in my gallery
