Hey guys - I have a 4.6 DOHC motor in my 47 Ford using a T-Bird power rack. I had some pump chirping and thinking it was a bad power steering pump, replaced it. I am still getting the chirp (and intermittent power steering loss) at operating temperature and realized that it was actually fluid foaming that is causing the problem.

I am looking for a recommendation on a good anti-foaming additive or a good fluid that won't foam up at operating temperatures. Thanks!!

What is the best way to bleed?...

I considered that there might be air in the system, but the problem doesn't surface until the fluid gets hot. I bled the system by loading up the resevoir and turning the wheels back and forth several times. Is there a better way to make sure the system is bled?
